Well, I haven't created it yet. :) Yes, it's tabular (it's a
demographics/census table generated via PHP that totals across and
down). In theory I need really make only the first cell of each row a
link since that's the descriptive text but I was wondering about
making anywhere in the row click'able for convenience since I've seen
that with some tables, albeit as mentioned, invalid lest one limits to
Internet Explorer.
Thanks.
