Question

I wonder what the best way to make an entire tr clickable would be?

The most common (and only?) solution seems to be using JavaScript, by using onclick=\"javascript:

I had that same problem, I solved it by using CSS only. I think it was the best solution for me, because I was using it in JSF also.

Just assign the style class to the table and you are good to go....

Here it goes:

CSS:

.myDataTable {
    background: 444;
    width: 100%;
}

.myDataTable thead tr {
    background-image: url('../img/tableHeader.jpg');
}

.myDataTable thead tr th {
    height: 28px;
    font-size: 14px;
    font-family: tahoma, helvetica, arial, sans-serif;
    padding-left: 5px;
}

.myDataTable thead tr th img {
    padding-right: 5px;
    padding-top: 1px;
}

.myDataTable thead tr td {
    height: 15px;
    font-size: 11px;
    font-weight: bold;
    font-family: tahoma, helvetica, arial, sans-serif;
    padding-left: 5px;
}

.myDataTable tbody {
    background: #f2f5f9;
}

.myDataTable tbody tr:nth-child(even) td,tbody tr.even td {
    background: #e2ebf4;
    font-size: 12px;
    padding-left: 5px;
    height: 14px;
}

.myDataTable tbody tr:nth-child(odd) td,tbody tr.odd td {
    background: #f7faff;
    font-size: 12px;
    padding-left: 5px;
    height: 14px;
}

.myDataTable tbody tr:hover td {
    background-color: #e7e7e7;
}

.myDataTable tbody tr td {
    height: 14px;
    padding-left: 5px;
    font-size: 12px;
}

.myDataTable tbody tr td a {
    color: black;
    text-decoration: none;
    font-size: 12px;
    display: block;
}

.myDataTable thead tr th a {
    color: black;
    text-decoration: none;
    font-size: 12px;
    display: inline;
}

Your table structure should be:

 

  

   
Heading 1
   
Heading 2
  
 
 

  

   
Data    1 
   
Data    2
