I have cell that I want to be able to have the user click the cell anywhere 
and it will link to somewhere else. I want to use a cell because I want it 
to be 25% of the width of the screen ( I have 4 'buttons' to do this.) I 
don't want to use a graphic because I want it to be able to resize.

Any suggestions?

In a perfect world, I'd also like to have it change color when somebody goes 
over it.

TIA - Jeff.

<td style="cursor:pointer;" onclick="location.href='page2.aspx';" 
onmouseover="this.style.backgroundColor='Green';" 
onmouseout="this.style.backgroundColor='White';">

That works great!

Is there anyway to automate it into a CSS or some othere way so I don't have 
to do it every single time?

TIA - Jeff.

So that's how you do this sort of thing in ASP.NET 2.0, huh?  Looks an awful 
lot like plain old HTML to me.

How do you go about implementing this sort of thing "cleanly" for server 
controls that ultimately generate tables, such as a calendar or gridview?

You can only put styles (the cursor in this case) in css, the events 
(onmouseover, onmouseout, onclick) must appear in a tag somewhere. The 
location change is a javascript so it can't go in a style sheet either.

However, you can put the different styles into a css class and do this:

<style>
..overClass {background-color: Green}
..outClass   {background-color:White}
</style>
<td onmouseover="this.className='overClass'"
      onmouseout='this.className='outClass'> content </td>

When generating table cells on the server you'd set the appropriate 
attributes, as in:

TableCell td = new TableCell();
td.Attributes.Add("onmouseover","this.style.backgroundColor='Green'");

Yeah, that's obvious enough if you're building the controls yourself--but 
the crux of my question had to do with server controls that don't easily 
give you access to the individual rows or cells.  How would you go about 
implementing, for example, an onclick event for the month name in a calendar 
control?  As far as I can see, the calendar object doesn't have a member 
mapped to that particular <td>, and looking at the raw HTML output, it has 
no ID either.

So under those circumstances, is "the best way" to hook up an event to try 
to locate the correct cell by its position in the control collection--which 
makes your code highly susceptible to break?
