Javascript tr click event with newly created rows
- by yalechen
I am very new to web development. I am currently using tablesorter jquery plugin to create a dynamic table, where the user can add and delete rows. I am having trouble with changing the background color of newly created rows upon clicking. It works fine with rows that are hard coded in html. Here is the relevant code:
$(document).ready(
function() {
$('table.tablesorter td').click(
function (event) {
$(this).parent('tr').toggleClass('rowclick');
$(this).parent('tr').siblings().removeClass('rowclick');
});
}
)
rowclick is a css class here:
table.tablesorter tbody tr.rowclick td {
background-color: #8dbdd8;
}
I have tried adding the following to my javascript function that adds a new row:
var createClickHandler =
function(newrow) {
return function(event) {
//alert(newrow.cells[0].childNodes[0].data);
newrow.toggleClass('rowclick');
newrow.siblings().removeClass('rowclick');
};
}
row.onclick = createClickHandler(row);
The alert correctly displays the text in the first column of the row when I click the new row. However, my new rows do not respond to the css class. Anyone have any ideas? Thanks in advance.
