I have a problem where I am supposed to make a 3x3 table with columns and rows numbered 1,2,3. Each table cell has to have identical width and height of 50 pixels and initially all cells are empty. That part I have done.

However, clicking on table cell that is at the intersection of column number i and row number j should display the value of the sum i+j at the center of this cell. This should work by clicking on any cell point, that is, anywhere within that cell.

But I am supposed to use ONLY PLAIN HTML instructions, no JavaScript, no CSS, no Java or any other scripting or programming language.

How can I add that functionality to my table?
Any tips are appreciated. I just need to know what technique to use, I can probably implement it by myself.
