How to change links in CSS?

Is there a way to make something a link by using only CSS?

  • I'm trying to make certain td tags link to a specific page but I don't want to put the links in html because it would be extremely tedious to change the link later on as the table is meant to be very large and I do plan on changing the links at some point. Is there a CSS function that would turn a specific td or div into a link using only the CSS from the included CSS file? And if that's not possible, is there a JavaScript code I can use to identify a specific CSS class that will make it link to another page?

  • Answer:

    You could do it with JavaScript using the DOM or PHP. Either way, it would be a complex script to write. Ron

You may be able to do this with the "content" property. Though in general, doing what you propose is a no-no in terms of "proper" design - CSS should be used for website styling, not content. If it's one table in a single HTML file, I don't see why you couldn't use a find/replace function and insert a dummy URL for now. The find/replace function is built into just about every HTML editor (outside Notepad).
