Background Image & hotspot/links

Question

How can I make a hotspot of a table cell which has a
background image?
I have a table with 9 cells, all of which have different
background images and text inside them.
I had to make the images background in order to make the text
so the page improves on search engine rankings, so i can't insert
images and attach links to them.
Just linking the text is no good either.
Hope you can help.
thanks

Hello,
You can link the text and expand the link area to fill the
table cell.
Try the code below.
Does that work?
<style type="text/css">
<!--
td.celllink a {
display: block;
text-decoration: none;
color: #000;
padding: 20px;
border: 1px solid #000;
td.celllink a:hover {
background-color: #0066FF;
-->
</style>
<table width="600" border="0" cellspacing="2"
cellpadding="0">
<tr>
<td class="celllink"><a
href="something.htm">Test</a></td>
<td class="celllink"><a
href="something.htm">Test again</a></td>
<td class="celllink"><a
href="something.htm">Test once more</a></td>
</tr>
</table>
Something to be aware of:
Users with a different text size setting in their browser
will result in the
text being in a different spot over the image and possibly
even beyond it.
Take care,
