I am trying to implement a javascript which will highlight the column in an html table on click.As the below working example for row highlight i tried to use the same with table.columns but table.columns doesn't exist.Is there any was to highlight the column in html table using jquery?
Working code for highlighting row: Table Highlight POC
<script>
function highlight() {
var table = document.getElementById('dataTable');
for (var i = 0; i < table.rows.length; i++) {
table.rows[i].onclick = function () {
if (!this.hilite) {
this.origColor = this.style.backgroundColor;
this.style.backgroundColor = '#BCD4EC';
this.hilite = true;
}
else {
this.style.backgroundColor = this.origColor;
this.hilite = false;
}
}
}
}
</script>
<style>
table {
border-spacing: 0px;
}
td {
border: 1px solid #bbb;
padding: 0.2em;
}
</style>
</head>
<body>
<table id="dataTable">
<tr onclick="highlight()"><td>Data1</td><td>Data2</td></tr>
<tr onclick="highlight()"><td>Data1</td><td>Data2</td></tr>
<tr onclick="highlight()"><td>Data1</td><td>Data2</td></tr>
</table>
</body>
</html>
