I agree with Matti. Would be easy to do with some simple javascript. A quick jquery example would be something like this:
<tr>
<td><a href="http://www.example.com/">example</a></td>
<td>another cell</td>
<td>one more</td>
</tr>
and
$('tr').click( function() {
window.location = $(this).find('a').attr('href');
}).hover( function() {
$(this).toggleClass('hover');
});
then in your CSS
tr.hover {
cursor: pointer;
/* whatever other hover styles you want */
}
