Click Entire Row (preserving middle click and ctrl+click)

Question

I have an HTML table with a link in the first column. I want to allow the user to click anywhere in the row to activate that link. At the same time, I would like to preser

Answer 1

Here's something that should work: Instead of using window.location, us .click() to emulate a click on the first inside the element. Also, use a conditional to check for CTRL+Click.

Should look like this:

$("table#row_link tbody tr").click(function (e) {
    if(e.ctrlKey) { 
        // Run Ctl+Click Code Here
    } else { 
        $(this).children('a').eq(0).click(); 
    }
}

Hope this helps!
