Question

I have a list view with many rows and have it set so that if you click on a cell it highlights it.

When clicking on the first column cells the whole row is highlighted (SelectedItemTeplate of listvew) the problem is that when you select a row all the highlighted cells gets reset as the page refreshes.

Is it possible to just highlight without postback?

Is it possible to just highlight without postback?

Yes, do this highlighting entirely on the client side via JQuery or Javascript.

For example, assuming every row in the listview has a class applied, you can do this in JQuery:

$(document).ready(function(){

   $('.your_class').live("click",function() { $(this).attr("class","highlight");   });

});

What the above code will do is that any html element in your page that has the class “.your_class” applied, will change to another class (“highlight” on the example) when it’s clicked.
