Highlight specific rows

rockyyy

i am using tablepress plugin on my wordpress website which uses datatables. i have a requirement of highlighting specific rows. my table will be constantly updated and it will always be arranged in the ascending order of the "name" entry. what would be the easiest way to highlight the rows?
as of now i am using this command
[code]
.tablepress-id-14 .row-368 td {
background-color: #CCFF99;
}
[/code]
but the problem i am facing with this is that i manually need to highlight each entry. and moreover if i add a new entry which falls somewhere in the middle of the table (ascending order) it will change the row ids of the rows below and the wrong rows will be highlighted.

i have entered "***" in a field in each row that i want to be highlighted. is there any way to highlight rows only which have *** in them

Not via pure CSS - you'd need to loop over the table contents and add a class to the rows which have your `***` in them.

@allan could you please explain in detail

allan

Yes - use fnGetNodes (or the $ API method) to get the cells in the table, and then check the contents of each (with jQuery's text() or html() options). If you find what you are looking for, then add a class to the row.

Another option, if the data isn't going to change is to use fnCreatedRow in a similar manner - it will be faster.

Certainly - I think the 1 hour support option would cover the work that is required: http://datatables.net/support .

way too expensive for me. my whole website setup did not cost me that much. if i knew finding a solution for this would cost me so much i would have stuck to manually doing the work.
anyways thanks alot for your help. appreciate it.
