Table issue

Question

I have a table that has 7 columns and 5 of them are a group that together describe something. I want a click anywhere within the group of 5 columns to run a script. I can do everything but make the grouping work. No matter how I attack the problem the columns in the table are not lined up, except if I use a traditional table. Is there something that will help me here or do I attach the onclick to each of the columns and let it go at that?
