Hi all,
I have a table with 12 cols and 10 rows. When a user clicks on a table cell;
the page is refreshed and displays some data below the table dependant on
whichever cell was selected.
I would like to make it so that whichever cell was clicked; the background
color is changed - so that when the user sees the data, (s)he can tell which
cell it relates to.
Does anyone know of a clever way to do this ?
I'm afraid my creativity is running a bit dry on this one as the only
working way i could come up with so far is to have an if statement before
each table cell is created, which is long winded.
kind regards

Long winded indeed.
The only other option I can think of at the moment is keeping an array
for each cell as X,Y coordinates, and the value of the array element
would be a string like 'style="backgro und-color:#CCCCCC;" '. Then just
reference array location for each cell and output the contents. If it
is empty, fine, but if you assign a string like that, the color will
change.
Both solutions require you to put code at each cell though...
I've never figured out any way around it.
Ex:
<?
$cellStyles = array();
$cellStyles[1][0] = 'style="backgro und-color:#CCCCCC;" ';
?>
<table>
<tr>
<td <?=$cellStyle s[0][0]?>>a</td>
<td <?=$cellStyle s[1][0]?>>b</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td <?=$cellStyle s[0][1]?>>c</td>
<td <?=$cellStyle s[1][1]?>>d</td>
</tr>
</table>

you can use css to show color on clicked cell - bkg color or bkg img but you
will have to remeber in script what cell was clicked
orter solution make make href and set visited option on your bkg color then
you no need script

perhaps this may be easier (if i understood you correctly):
<html>
<style type="text/css">
td
{
background-color : white;
cursor : pointer;
width : 50px;
}
</style>
<script type="text/javascript">
var currentCell;
function colorMe(el)
{
if (!el){ return; }
if (!el.style){ return; }
if (currentCell){ currentCell.sty le.backgroundCo lor = ''; }
currentCell = el;
currentCell.sty le.backgroundCo lor = '#CCCCCC';
}
</script>
<body>
<table>
<tr>
<td onclick="colorM e(this);">a</td>
<td onclick="colorM e(this);">b</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td onclick="colorM e(this);">c</td>
<td onclick="colorM e(this);">d</td>
</tr>

Don't worry about those 2 arguing. They seem to be like the Odd Couple.
I've watched them bicker through 2 threads already within the past 24
hours. Wish they could just all get along...or take it outside...or
something.
As long as you get your solution, this ng proves its worth.

very good. i actually posted that so you'd flesh out how you wanted the
refresh to run. one way is to use javascript and populate all the data
needed for all the cells and just hide that data in a div in the
html...getting it via js would allow you one trip to the server without the
refresh. as it is, i see you intend not to use js. the solution is fairly
simple...i'll work up a quick example and post it here.
cheers

I have set up an HTML table with clickable cells (the cells contain

Is there a way to selectively highlight text in an OverLib popup? I'd
like to be able to make some text stand out from the rest of the text

I tried using a one-cell table with background set to yellow, but that
caused the popup not to work at all (this might be a syntax problem -
I haven't been able to find any syntax examples for putting a table
inside an OverLib call)
