Question

I have a html table and press a key in a table cell. Now I want to check if any of the following table rows has the background color #FFFFCC. I tried this with the jQuery-code

var t = $(this).closest('tr').nextAll('[background="#FFFFCC"]').eq(0);
   if (t.length > 0)
   //

but it does not work.

You’re trying to use an attribute-equals selector, which won’t work since background isn’t an attribute. What you need to do, I think, is:

var t = $(this).closest('tr').nextAll().filter(function(){
            if ($(this).css('background-color') == '#ffffcc'){
                return true;
            }
        });
