Just finished the Table 2 video, and the way Chris did column highlighting seemed a bit complex. It might be becaus he wanted to show off the colgroup element, though.
But if you’re just after column highlighting, quick and easy, you could do this:
Code:
var colNo = $(this).prevAll(“td”).size();
$(“tr td:nth-child(“+ (colNo+1) +”)”).addClass(“hover”);
Put that inside the hover function, and you should get the same effect, without need for colgroups or class names for each cell. (:
