Thanks for that ... can't believe I missed that. Actually can't believe it was working at all in the first place!

OK, so I changed this line and added the color blue to make it obvious what's going on in my program.

el.parentNode.cells[i].style.backgroundColor='blue';

For some reason it highlights the entire row but doesn't change the bgcolor in the code piece I'm using to indicate a saved traffic light from the database (here):

Code:

<td bgcolor=\"green\" onclick=\"togCell('#green'); makePOSTRequest('$javvar', '1')\">&nbsp</td>

Any ideas why it's not changing the bgcolor?
