We want to keep the rollover highlight for a visual aid but not allow the rows to be selected. I tried forcing useRollover to true but that did not work as selectable seems to take precedence. Is there a way to keep the highlighting for rollover with selectable set to false? I notice selectable=”false” also disables the rollover highlighting.

I just added the <code>itemClick</code> business in there because I eventually expected somebody to ask how you could detect a click, and then I wouldn't have to go figure it out and then reply in the comments like I actually know what I'm doing.
