is it possible to have a clickable table wherein once you click that specific row, a dialog box will appear to display the entire row. could you help me with this one..thanks in advnce ^^

It would require javascript but as for the basics I believe it would be something like the following.

<table>
<tr onclick=javascript:showrow(1)><td></td><td id="1"></td></tr>
<tr onclick=javascript:showrow(2)><td></td><td id="2"></td></tr>

Then you would use css to hide the rows and a custom javascript function to show the rows. Hope that helps.

<table>
<tr onclick='alert(document.getElementById("row1").innerHTML)'><td id='row1'>your_text</td></tr>
</table>

This will do what you want. table and when you click it, it becomes editable.
