change background color on hover or select

[Gary]

I have a table with a form consisting of several checkboxes and I'm
wondering if its possible to change the table row background color on
mouseover or hover and make it stay that color when the checkbox in that row
is selected?

For the moment I'm fighting with appendChild in a table a cloneNoded row.
That's work fine with FF, Opera and others except ... IE (of course)
I have yet to do a simplier test before coming to ask here what is wrong.

Remember that when encountering a table, browsers will insert a tbody
element into the DOM even if there isn't one in the source HTML (they
are mandatory elements but the tags are optional).

A common problem is attempting to append a new row to a table element
when you should append to a tbody element. Other browsers will tolerate
it and add the row to the tbody anyway, but not IE.

e.g. if 'el' is a reference to a table:

var aRow = el.rows[0].cloneNode(true );
el.appendChild( aRow);

will not work in IE. But:

var aRow = el.rows[0].cloneNode(true );
var lastRow = el.rows[el.rows.length - 1];
lastRow.parentN ode.insertBefor e(aRow, lastRow.nextSib ling);

will work (and in others too) because the parent of the lastRow is a
tbody, not a table.

There is a sample below. Of course I could have just used a tbody
element instead of the table when climbing the tree, this is just a demo.

<script type="text/javascript">

function cloneRow( el )
{
// Get the table - should use tbody but this is just for show
while (el.parentNode && 'table' != el.nodeName.toL owerCase()){
el = el.parentNode;
}
var aRow = el.rows[0].cloneNode(true );

// The next line won't work in IE
// el.appendChild( aRow);

// But these will
var lastRow = el.rows[el.rows.length - 1];
lastRow.parentN ode.insertBefor e(aRow, lastRow.nextSib ling);

}

</script>

<table border="1">
<tr>
<td onclick="cloneR ow(this)">Click me</td>
</tr>
</table>

No, no, I appendChild in a tbody
But, perhaps my row is too heavy for this poor IE (my IE5.2 Mac ...)
with css and IE's roll-over +
image (with onclick) +
input with onchange
etc

way I do :
I have an undisplayed table with one row
I have an other table of x rows (thead, tbody, tfoot)
each row of each tbody of both tables are same (except a td text)

var rw = document.getEle mentById('refRo w').cloneNode(t rue);
give a new id to the clone
var tb = document.getEle mentById('tBody Target');
tb.appendchild( rw);
original row being not undisplayed
I have not to display in IE understanding : tableRow

IE is lost with width of cols (1st col width becomes initial table width)
IE forget all events (an alert showes it)

I did try with M$ function : insertRow()
without succes because that would only create a new empty row
(and I'm not sure that works with IE Mac)
e.g. if 'el' is a reference to a table:

var aRow = el.rows[0].cloneNode(true );
el.appendChild( aRow);

will not work in IE. But:

var aRow = el.rows[0].cloneNode(true );
var lastRow = el.rows[el.rows.length - 1];
lastRow.parentN ode.insertBefor e(aRow, lastRow.nextSib ling);
Perhaps could I try that
(but I have a tfoot ... ?)
will work (and in others too) because the parent of the lastRow is a
tbody, not a table.

There is a sample below. Of course I could have just used a tbody
element instead of the table when climbing the tree, this is just a demo.
keep it here for my archives (and later try)
<script type="text/javascript">

function cloneRow( el )
{
// Get the table - should use tbody but this is just for show
while (el.parentNode && 'table' != el.nodeName.toL owerCase()){
el = el.parentNode;
}
var aRow = el.rows[0].cloneNode(true );

// The next line won't work in IE
// el.appendChild( aRow);

// But these will
var lastRow = el.rows[el.rows.length - 1];
lastRow.parentN ode.insertBefor e(aRow, lastRow.nextSib ling);

}

</script>

<table border="1">
<tr>
<td onclick="cloneR ow(this)">Click me</td>
</tr>
</table>

Hmm, it was a long shot. I'll have a play with IE Mac later (actually
much later... say +7hrs from now).
