invisible cell link ?

[skint]

Hi people, can anyone help.
i need to create an invisible link in a table .
i was originally using a photoshop image as my web page and placing links on it using an image map. Giving me links hovering over glowwing text in the original photo to take me to other pages.
Now i have changed my ways and placed the image in a layout table and used style sheets and cells to position, add video and links in cells in the table, with the old image now being background for the table.
i still want to use the photoshop background images' glowing text to link to aswell as my other video and text links but cannot trigger the image map as the photos glowing text is not a foreground image therefore has nothing to link to.
Adding a table cell around the section i want to link , i need to place an invisible image in the cell giving something to link to, which would give the appearence of linking to the the background glow text, i cant fill a box with same colour text to look invisible because the background image is too complex. And i can't mimick my cool glow text in dreamweaver, so
what can i do.? Link to anchors on other pages ? Invisible link in cell ?
Really appreciate your help !

Thanks

The Normal technique would be to not have a huge background image but rather smaller images that can be placed in the site and only where needed.

Why not cutout the piece of of the image you want to have as a link and create a link around that. Failing that you could create a transparent gif roughly the size of the glowing text and place that in a link.
