Something like this (in the head section)?

//query & pass values to JS
if(value == Late){
        document.write("<style type='text/css'>td#yourcellid{background-color: #FF0000;}</style>");
}else{
        document.write("<style type='text/css'>td#yourcellid{background-color: #00FF00;}</style>");
}

I suggest just using JSP to set a style for the td element.
