How to click on a specific link with Selenium?

I have an integration test. It uses Selenium, from Java. I would like to click on a specific link, which has no ID. All I know about it is that it is in a specific cell in a specific table. The table has an ID.

How can I click on that element using DefaultSelenium?

I tried

defaultselenium.click("th.tblHeader:nth-child(14) > a:nth-child(1)");

because Firefox said that it's the XPath of the element, and I also tried

defaultselenium.click("#tableId > thead:nth-child(1) > tr > th.tblHeader:nth-child(14) > a:nth-child(1)");

because I don't use XPath very often and I had no idea what I was doing, but I thought that having a unique ID in the equation may help. Both of them give me "ERROR: Element ... not found" messages.

That's not XPath, it's CSS. Vanilla Firefox isn't helpful for extracting XPath from a page, but there are plugins available. Alternatively, Chrome will give you the XPath.
