i was trying to make a single cell table clickable. i managed to make the whole
table clickable but not just a single cell.
in the url i submitted you can see two tables. the top one has a table inside
the cell and that table has an href tag before it to make it a link,so the whole
cell becomes clickable.
the table on the bottom, on the other hand, is a normal table and i tried to
make the cell itself a link, with no results :)

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.

Actual Results:  
cell does not become a link

Expected Results:  
cell should be a link

The syntax of that example is invalid. See
http://validator.w3.org/check?uri=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.yahel.com%2Fyoav%2F&doctype=HTML+4.01+Transitional&charset=iso-8859-1+%28Western+Europe%29

You can't put an <a> between a <tr> and a <td>. Use onclick on the <td> or put
the <a> inside the <td>. 
(In fact the same applies to putting a <table> inside an <a>, but in this case
it works although it isn't correct as an inline element can't have a block
element inside itself)

Invalid.
