Alex,

Forgo using CSS, and instead us JS.

Events propagate upward towards the document root from the element being
clicked upon.  Therefore, if you apply code to the onclick handler of the
td, then any clicks on the div and img will eventually fire the event at the
td.  Make sure you pass "this" to the function within the onclick handler so
that you'll get an immediate reference to the td.

HTH,
