Question : How do I get links to work from inside a ASP.NET table on masterpage?

I am trying to insert a table on a master page so that different links to pdf forms etc can look organized.
One link in each cell of the table. Here is the markup code from the masterpage that is not working.
Can I put links in a table?
<table class="style1">
<tr>
<td>
<a href="pdf/AcmeCreditApplication.pdf">Acme Credit Application</a>
 </td>
<td>

 </td>
<td>
 </td>
</tr>

Answer : How do I get links to work from inside a ASP.NET table on masterpage?

You can try doing it this way. Note that I just used an ASP.NET table control. You can still use HTML table for the links if you want. In the sample code below, in one cell, it uses a linkbutton and in the other one, an HTML anchor. This should work on a master page as I use it a lot. Check that your relative address in the href is pointing to the correct file location as well. I hope this helps.
