I get the 18 digit id for a contact in an html table. Using the dataTable it returned the contact name as a hyperlink. I'd like to do the same on the html table so as to not introduce more view state overhead by adding a dataTable back into the mix (there are lots of tables on this page.)
This is the row:
<td>{!s.Key_Broker_Contact_LU_PS__c}</td>
where s is a query variable .
