Problem with spry:select not selecting

Question

I am having trouble getting the spry:select to work on the
following code. Everything works except for the spry:select. If I
remove the spry:hover and the spry:sort, then the spry:select will
work. The only way I can get the spry:select to work is if it is
the only spry statement in the <td>. Please help.
NON-WORKING SPRY:SELECT CODE:
<div spry:region="pv1">
Records {ds_PageFirstItemNumber}-{ds_PageLastItemNumber} of
{ds_PageTotalItemCount}
<table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" border="0"
width="100%">
<tr>
<td class="tableheader" style="cursor:pointer;"
spry:select="tableheaderSel" spry:hover="tableheaderSel"
spry:sort="airport_code">Airport</td>
<td class="tableheader" style="cursor:pointer;"
spry:hover="tableheaderSel" spry:sort="hotel">Hotel</td>
<td class="tableheader" style="cursor:pointer;"
spry:hover="tableheaderSel"
spry:sort="bookings">Bookings</td>
<td class="tableheader" style="cursor:pointer;"
spry:hover="tableheaderSel"
spry:sort="previous_year_bookings">Previous Year</td>
<td class="tableheader" style="cursor:pointer;"
spry:hover="tableheaderSel" spry:sort="change">Change</td>
<td class="tableheader" style="cursor:pointer;"
spry:hover="tableheaderSel"
spry:sort="percent_change">%</td>
</tr>
<tr spry:repeat="pv1" spry:odd="tablerow1">
<td class="tablecell"
spry:content="{airport_code}"></td>
<td class="tablecell"
spry:content="{hotel}"></td>
<td class="tablecell"
spry:content="{bookings}"></td>
<td class="tablecell"
spry:content="{previous_year_bookings}"></td>
<td class="tablecell"
spry:content="{change}"></td>
<td class="tablecell"
spry:content="{percent_change}"></td>
</tr>
</table>
<p>
<div style="float:right;">
<input type="button" value="Next"
onClick="pv1.nextPage();" />
<input type="button" value="Last"
onClick="pv1.lastPage();" />
</div>
<div style="float:left;">
<input type="button" value="First"
onClick="pv1.firstPage();" />
<input type="button" value="Prev"
onClick="pv1.previousPage();" />
</div>
</div>

When you use a spry:sort, you are sorting the data set and
the entire region is redrawn. This wipes out the spry:select. This
happens to the select, no matter where it is.
The way to highlight the currently selected column is a bit
tedious. You will have to have a spry:if that checked the value of
{ds_SortColumn}. This means repeating the <TD> for each
condition.
It's a sub-optimal solution but we don't have attribute level
control.
However, we do have some tools and enhancements coming up
that should make this easier. But they are not ready yet, so...
http://labs.adobe.com/technologies/spry/samples/data_region/DataSetMasterDetailSample.html
has an example of how we use spry:if to conditionally put on
an attribute.
