All,
I have an ASP.NET GridView that is rendered to an HTML table.
<table> <tr><th>Col 1 Head</th><th>Col 2 Head</th></tr> <tr><td>Data 1</td><td>Data 2</td></tr> <tr><td>Data 3</td><td>Data 4</td></tr> </table>
I want to highlight the row when the mouse is hovered over it - except for the first row which is the header.
I am just getting my head wet with JQuery, and have dabbled a bit with CSS (either CSS2 or CSS3). Is there a preferred way to do this?
Can anyone give me a starting point for this?
Cheers

To add a line break to your HTML code, you use the <br> tag. The <br> tag does not have an end tag. You can also add additional lines between paragraphs by using the <br> tags.
There is a way to achieve the desired behavior without class-ing each row separately. Here's how to highlight each table row except for first one (header) on hover using the CSS :not
and :first-child
selectors:
tr:not(:first-child):hover { background-color: red; }
Unfortunately, IE < 9 does not support :not
, so to do this in a cross-browser way, you can use something like this:
tr:hover { background-color: red; } tr:first-child:hover { background-color: white; }
Basically, the first CSS rule includes all rows. To avoid highlighting the first row, you override the its hover style by selecting with tr:first-child
and then keeping its background-color
to white (or whatever the non-highlighted row's color is).
I hope that helped, too!
