You can reference a table cell a few ways. One would be to give it an id, and reference it with document.getElementById("theid")

[coffeebrown83]

so i would enter
id="MainCell"
and then refrence it?

[pyro]

Yes, that will allow you to reference it... BTW, what are you trying to do once you reference it?

[coffeebrown83]

my webpage is www.djcoffeebrown.com and i am using a template. i want the user to be able to click a link and it open in the main table cell.

[coffeebrown83]

i tried the document.getElementById("theid") option and it didn't work. it opened up the link in a new page. not inside the MainCell

HTML does not allow to load html pages inside a table cell or any other element for that matter ,except the frames and IFRAMES..
