UBB.Developers Forums UBB.threads 7 Development How Do I? Silly question! Hyperlinking a table row (or field)

I know I have seen it before, but it completely slips my mind how to do this.

What is the code to hyperlink the "field" a link is in, rather than just the link itself? I saw on one forum where not only could they mouseover the field where the Post Topic was, but the entire field was a link as well.

Like I said, silly question and I am sure its easy, but I cannot think of how to do this right now!

It's a css style thingy, I don´t know exactly though how to do it.
You'll have to do some research http://www.htmlhelp.com/reference/css/

I actually figured it out yesterday! It is javascript'able or CSS - either way. I chose the CSS route for ease of changing across multiple pages.

Thanks Anno.

Can you tell us how?

My menu table looks like the following:

[]<TABLE cellSpacing=0 cellPadding=0 width=160 border=0>
<TR>
<TD height=30>
<A class="sidenav" href="index.php">Home</A></TD></TR>
<TR>
<TD height=30>
<A class="sidenav" ref="link2.php">Link2</A></TD></TR>
</TABLE>[/]
My CSS styles are as follows, and you can obviously change a bit of this up. The important one to keep is the width=100%, which spans your table field across the entire width:

[].sidenav {
background-color: #990000;
border: 1px #000000 solid;
width: 100%;
color : #FFFFFF;
text-align : left;
padding-left: 10px;
padding-top: 7px;
padding-bottom: 7px;
}
.sidenav:link {
color : #FFFFFF;
text-decoration : none;
}
.sidenav:active {
color : #FFFFFF;
background-color: #C00000;
}
.sidenav:hover {
color : #FFFFFF;
background-color: #C00000;
text-decoration : none;
}
.sidenav:visited {
text-decoration : none;
}[/]

CAVEAT: If you define default colors and styles for your links (ie A:link A:hover A:visited, etc...) it will mess with your menu. So yes, you have to style define each "section" with it's own link attributes.

Hope that made sense.
