Row Highlight

[mili]

I have a table that displays records in rows.I have a mouse over menu list that contains actions that be performed on each record.when I click on any one of these actions, I want to highlight the entire row and change the font color to red, indicating that this record is being currently looked at.How can I do this?
I have attached my code sample.

Thanks,

Here is one of the ways you can get his done

give all the rows an id="row_1"

then from the click event pass this id index suchas onclick ="highlightRow('row_1')";

in the function highlightRow( row_id)

var row = document.getElementById(row_id);
row.style.backgroundColor="lightyellow";
row.style.color="red";

Hope this helps

Oh BTW your code only works for IE,I guess you already know that ..right?

wonderful...thanks a ton!

I guess I was missing "\" in

onClick="HighLightTR(\'#efefef\',\'#cc3300\');"

BTW, this is IE specific that I'm working on.So I dont have to bang my head to get it working on NS.

Thanks Khalid
