The following HTML shows the problem
<html>

<body>

<table border="1" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"
style="width:600px;height:200px;background-color:blue;">
<tr>
<td style="width:200px;background-color:purple;">
</td>
<td style="width:400px;" valign="top">
<div id=outerDiv
style="width:100%;height:100%;position:relative;background-color:orange;">
<div style="top:0;width:200px;left:0;position:absolute;">
text text text<br>
text text text<br>
text text text<br>
text text text
</div>
<div style="top:0;width:200px;left:200px;position:absolute;">

</div>
</div>
</td>
</tr>
</table>
<br>
Single clicking in the first 200 or so pixels to the right of the orange box
will select the text inside of the orange box.<p>
Adding "overflow:hidden;" to "outerDiv" div or removing the "position:absolute;"
styles will stop the behavior<p>
Varying to position of the entire table on the page affects the click area. For
example, adding lines above the table moves the
invisible click area below the top of the table.
