This adaptation was inspired by the response of James Donnelly to a query about how to create a clickable link in a TD element. While his solution is effective in many cases, I encountered a scenario where it falls short.
To illustrate this issue, here is the JSFiddle example.
In my modification, I included the addition of vertical-align to a td and an abundance of text within Parent1.
table.coolTable td {
vertical-align:top;
...
The concern arises when the empty space beneath Parent2 is rendered unclickable. How can I make that section also clickable without resorting to specifying fixed unit heights which could limit the flexibility of the table?
Your insights and suggestions are greatly appreciated!
