Re: Netscape & linked tables

If you don't mind that this feature only works for 4.0 and above browsers
and your table is fixed width, you can use DHTML. Create a floating, clear,
hyperlinked image overlapping the cell. If you do it right, it will work on
all platforms/browsers and legacy browsers will just ignore the code(and the
cell won't be linked for them) I'm sure you can look around to find
ready-to-go code for doing exactly this.

Hope that is sort of a clue to what you're looking for
