The problem: when surrounding a table with an anchor tag, the table and everything

  • 0

The problem: when surrounding a table with an anchor tag, the table and everything within is not clickable in IE 6, 7 & 8. How do I solve this issue assuming I can’t replace the table with divs?

Sample code:

<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN 
"http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" xml:lang="en-US">

<head>
  <title>Test</title>
</head>
<body>

<a href="http://www.google.com">
  <table height="35">
    <tr>
      <td>I'm a link in a table, bet you can'tclick me!</td>
    </tr>
  </table>
</a>

</body>
</html>

    You can add a JavaScript onclick event handler on the table to do the same thing as the link.

    Edit: Removed initial suggestion since it behaved badly in other browsers.
