Can't you make the a fill the entire td? i think it's
display:block? then the background of the link will look like it fills
the table cell.
Hello, are you able solve this dilemma for
me?
Is there a way to style the td element with a
background colour if an a element has a active_menu
id?
table
tr
tda href=""
id="active_menu"Link/a/td
/tr/table
Thanks,Martin

No, CSS Selectors don't allow this. They can only step down, not up.
You could do the equivalent in JavaScript, or... well, a long term
Martin,
that's not possible all selectors work the other way around. You
could assign a class or, if you don't need it for other things, the
id to the td tag. If this isn't possible on the server side, use
javascript to do so.

As Matthew said, the selectors step down, so you could apply the active_menu
id to the td, then use descendence(!) on the contained elements.
td id=active_menuasnip/a/td
#active_menu { styles }
#active_menu a { styles }

As others have said, you;d need to resort to JavaScript to do this, or
change the setup so the id is on the container you want to change.
One thing though... Is this in a data
