Re: Changing background on individual rows in table (HTML)

I would also add that the CSS class name should reflect the business need, not the display attributes. For example, The rows aren't green, yellow and red, they're normal, warning and critical. That way when you decide that normal should be no-color instead of green the class of "Normal" still makes sense where the class of "Green" doesn't.

Any help is appreciated.

In addition to the suggestion to update a CSS class variable on the <tr> tag at runtime, it's generally a good idea to use an external .css file which can be shared across multiple applications. So if you change your background color in the .css file, the color is automatically changed in every application that references the .css file. Some folks even implement user selectable themes, where the .css file reference is determined at runtime, and may vary from one user to the next.

Nathan.
