Abandon ye the the complex ways of complexity and javascript use ye
not except where it is truly needed! For lo, a new technology hath
emergeth, and the name of that technology is CSS ;^)

Seriously, what you're doing can be easily done by applying the style
'display:block;' to the links in your menu (and possibly by adjusting
the height or line-height of the links so that they fill the entire
height of the table cell). 'display:block;' will make the clickable
area of the link occupy the whole area of the table cell it resides
in.
