I am using Rails 2.2.2 and put together a show.html.erb template to
display relevant details of my model (model A). Model A has a one-to-
many relationship to another model model B, and those details are
displayed as individual rows in a table. One of those columns is a
link to another show page on model B's controller to display model B's
details. I use:
<% for b_model in a_model.get_all_b_children %>
to loop through all the children (B's)
This all works and looks just as I expected, with one exception - the
link displayed in the table shows up as a link, but it is not
clickable - my pointer does not change and if I click it, nothing
happens. It looks like it is nothing more than underlined text.
If I pull the link_to call out of my table (out of the for-loop) and
place it elsewhere on the page, it works perfectly (of course, I need
to manually dig model B out of model A, but I believe that is
immaterial).
Any thoughts as to why link_to does not work from within a table?

I'd guess you've generated invalid html. Have your tried pasting the
html into the w3c validator ?
