Row hyperlink disabling TabelSorter

Row hyperlink disabling TabelSorter

Hi,
 
I'm using the excellent table sorter, but have found that when I place a hyperlink around an entire tableRow the sorter becomes disabled. Any ideas why, or what I need to configure to make both work? i could just add a hyperlink to just a TD, but hyperlinking the row looks nicer
 

  1. <a href="pop_MSTDetails.cfm?MSTNo=#ALL_EQPT_NO#&SJNo=#Std_Job_NO#&WG=#Work_Group#" class="noborder" OnMouseOver="javascript:window.status='Click to view full record details'; return true" onclick="NewWindow(this.href,'Process','730','710','yes','center');return false" onfocus="this.blur()">

    <tr>

    <td class="cardRowValues">#ALL_EQPT_NO#</td>

    <td class="cardRowValues">#ALL_EQPT_DESC#</td>

    </tr>

    </a>

The CSS is very simple:
 

  1. table.cardTable

     a tr:hover td, table a tr.row0:hover td {

    background-color

    : #d3eaff;

    color

    : #000;

    padding

    : 4px;

    }

Many thanks for any advice!
