How to make entire in a table clickable like

Question

Here is my Fiddle

How can I make the entire <tr> as clickable.

In the fiddle all the elements like text and images are clickable, but i want to make the entire <tr> clickable. I won't want to make the jQuery query action, as it won't show the href icon while hovering it.

How can I do this ?

I read this question but it still uses jQuery on click event, which won't show the href icon while hovering it

Here is my HTML

<table border=1>
  <tbody>

    <tr>
      <td style="display: none;">
        13467.36232877521
      </td>
      <td style="display: none;">
        0
      </td>
      <td width="5%" >
        <a href="http://localhost/greenhopping/store/976" style="text-decoration:none;color:black">

        </a>
      </td>
      <td width="25%">
        <div class="semibold">
          <a href="http://localhost/greenhopping/store/976" style="text-decoration:none;color:black">
                                                                            Juice Generation Demo 1  
                                                                        </a>
        </div>
        <div class="text-muted"><i class="fa fa-heart yellow"></i> 0</div>
      </td>
      <td width="35%">

        </div>
      </td>
      <td width="35%" class="text-right">
        <a href="http://localhost/greenhopping/store/976" style="text-decoration:none;color:black">

A combination of the above should do the trick.

Add recognizable class to your element.

<tr class="clickable" data-href="http://website/your_href"></tr>

Write CSS for the element to appear clickable.
```
.clickable {
    cursor: pointer;
}
```

Make the thing clickable using Javascript:

var elements = document.getElementsByClassName('clickable');
for (var i = 0; i < elements.length; i++) {
    var element = elements[i];
    element.addEventListener('click', function() {
        var href = this.dataset.href;
        if (href) {
            window.location.assign(href);
        }
    });
}

This 3. above has a missing right parenthesis. I think it goes at the end of the second to last line. – MiloNC Mar 22 '22 at 20:01

Try putting display as block.

td a { 
   display: block; 
}

Fiddle

Also have a look at answer in this question too.

All you need to do is add cursor: pointer; to have it look like its clickable and then add an ID to it if you want to actually make the entire tr tag clickable. IE:

 <tr id="clickable">

CSS

 tr { cursor: pointer; }

This is bad because you shouldn't have the same id twice in a page. Either make it a class, or use a data attribute – Thomas Williams Jan 27 '17 at 15:24

You can do it by using javascript. Maybe:

$("tr").click(function() {
    // what to do
});
