How can I go about creating a specific function or building onto the existing code below that would allow me to go to (highlight) a specific row in a table. It is noted that the table headers should be always be exempt, therefore, start the row count at ‘0’ after the table headers.
Ie. function goToRow('3')
and this function would highlight row 3
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<style type="text/css">
#mstrTable {
border: 1px solid black
}
#mstrTable td, th {
border: 1px solid black
}
#mstrTable tr.normal td {
color: black;
background-color: white;
}
#mstrTable tr.highlighted td {
color: white;
background-color: gray;
}
</style>
</head>
<body>
<table id="mstrTable">
<thead>
<tr>
<th>File Number</th>
<th>Date1</th>
<th>Date2</th>
<th>Status</th>
<th>Num.</th>
</tr>
</thead>
<tbody>
<tr>
<td>KABC</td>
<td>09/12/2002</td>
<td>09/12/2002</td>
<td>Submitted</td>
<td>0</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>KCBS</td>

<td>1 </td>

<tr>

<td>2</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>WTSP</td>
<td>09/15/2002</td>
<td>09/15/2002</td>
<td>In-Progress</td>
<td>3</td>
</tr>
</tbody>
</table>
<script type="text/javascript">
var table = document.getElementById("mstrTable");
var thead = table.getElementsByTagName("thead")[0];
var tbody = table.getElementsByTagName("tbody")[0];
tbody.onclick = function (e) {
e = e || window.event;
var td = e.target || e.srcElement; //assumes there are no other elements inside the td
var row = td.parentNode;
alert('Row is ' + (row.rowIndex - 1))
if (this.lst&&this.lst!=row){
this.lst.className='';
}
row.className = row.className==="highlighted" ? "" : "highlighted";
this.lst=row;
}
thead.onclick = function (e) {
e = e || window.event;
var th = e.target || e.srcElement; //assumes there are no other elements in the th
alert(th.innerHTML);
}
</script>
</body>
</html>
Here is a small example of how you can achieve it with jQuery.
