I want to highlight row into JSF table when the mouse pointer is on the row. I found this tutorial.

I tried to implement the example here:

                <div id="settingsdiva" style="width:350px; height:400px; position:absolute;  background-color:transparent; top:20px; left:400px">

                </div>   

                <div id="settingsdivb" style="width:350px; height:400px; position:absolute;  background-color:transparent; top:20px; left:800px">

                </div>   
            </div>  
        </div>

    </h:body>
</html>

Nothing happens. I suppose that the JavaScript must be able to work. Is there a diffidence in highlighting row in a JSF table and a normal HTML table? Maybe the problem is the version of JQuery?

Best wishes

    The problem is, that your script gets executed before the DOM is completely loaded.

    You can either put your script as it is at the bottom of the page or call it when the document is ready by putting it inside $(function() {}):

    <script type="text/javascript">
  $(function() {
    $("tr").not(':first').hover(
      function () {
        $(this).css("background","yellow");
      }, 
      function () {
        $(this).css("background","");
      }
    );
  })
</script>
