Change border color of table for current row only

[ismailc]

Hi, need help please!

I have a table within a table, the background color of table is blue to match the background color of my <td>.

but now i want onmouseover to change the background color of the <td> which i do but the row in between the colommns have a blue color.

<tr class="tbDetailNew">
<td width="8%">&#160;</td>
<td colspan="6">
<table id="test" style="border:none; backgound-color:blue;" width='100%'>
<tr>
<td onmousemove="style.backgroundColor = 'white';"document.getElementById('test').style.backgroundColor = 'white';">

i get it to change the table backgound color but then it changes for all the rows within the table - i just want to the row i'm on.

Please Assist.

<td onmousemove="style.backgroundColor = 'white';"document.getElementById('test').style.backgroundColor = 'white';">

The highlighted should be:
this.style.backgroundColor
And what element has the ID test?
[edit]
If I understand what you want, I think this should work:

<script type="text/javascript">
var trRows = function(e){
    var el = document.getElementById(e);
    var tr = el.getElementsByTagName('tr');
    for(i=0,color=new Array();i<tr.length;++i){
      tr[i]["onmouseover"] = function() { this.style.backgroundColor = "yellow"; };
      tr[i]["onmouseout"] = function() { this.style.backgroundColor = "#FFF"; };
    }
}
</script>
<table id="hovTable" border="1">
<tr><td>Array1</td><td>Dog</td><td>Cat</td><td>Horse</td></tr>
<tr><td>Array2</td><td>Ferrari</td><td>Mustang</td><td>Hummer</td></tr>
<tr><td>Array3</td><td>Clouds</td><td>Sun</td><td>Stars</td></tr>
<tr><td>Array4</td><td>Orange</td><td>Apple</td><td>Banana</td></tr>
</table>
<script type="text/javascript">
window.onload = trRows('hovTable');
</script>

Although if you give a tr a bg color, it won't return. If your giving your tr[s] bg colors that are different then all the other tr[s], then tell me and I'll make it happen.

Thank You for the assist.

It's not more of a javascript but a css.

when I'm on the row I change the td & the table background color.
which works - but then all the other rows have a different backgroundcolor because i changed it on the current row. But now all the other rwos have blue td with thin strips of black showing from the table color change.

If you want it for css. Just take a look at some tutorials. I don't understand the last part you were saying in the post above...

Thank you - and my apologies.

As I know what i'm doing but explainng what i'm doing is a week point of mine.

Thank You - i dropped the table - so don't need to change the color as i'm pressured on time.
