So you want to be able to navigate to another page. If you are planning to go to another page as you said in the comments, you might want to use location.href = url. the first solution will work if you click on any row.
<table class="table table-hover">
<tr>
<td><strong>FirstName</strong></td>
<td><strong>LastName</strong></td>
<td><strong>Start</strong></td>
<td><strong>End</strong></td>
</tr>
<tr><a>
<td>aaa</td>
<td>bbb</td>
<td>ccc</td>
<td>ddd</td>
</a></tr>
</table>
$("row").click(function(){
//to navigate to another page
location.href = 'user/student';//the other page's url
});
Another way to implement this is by using the onclick in the specific row. This solution will work if you click on the specific row that has the onclick.
<table class="table table-hover">
<tr onclick="location.href='user/student';">
<td><strong>FirstName</strong></td>
<td><strong>LastName</strong></td>
<td><strong>Start</strong></td>
<td><strong>End</strong></td>
</tr>
<tr><a>
<td>aaa</td>
<td>bbb</td>
<td>ccc</td>
<td>ddd</td>
</a></tr>
</table>
Another way is to give an id to the row and use js or jquery to select that id and navigate to the page you want like below:
<table class="table table-hover">
<tr id="row1">
<td><strong>FirstName</strong></td>
<td><strong>LastName</strong></td>
<td><strong>Start</strong></td>
<td><strong>End</strong></td>
</tr>
<tr><a>
<td>aaa</td>
<td>bbb</td>
<td>ccc</td>
<td>ddd</td>
</a></tr>
</table>
//now you can use this to navigate
$('#row1').on('click', function(){
window.location = "user/student";
});
