Hi mb, hovering effects are nothing I want here.
It is like this: a company clerk somewhere in the world will be
looking at some url in some paperwork where he needs to go to
download something. The thing he needs will be in a row of a
table on a web page that I produce. He can easily scroll the
table and find it (all rational alpha numerical order), but it
would be nice if it jumped out at him in case he has had a heavy
night. The css is the easy bit. The harder bit is getting the
style to apply to the bit he wants when he clicks the url.
Sure, the url will have a #... tacked on and this gets the item
on the browser window. Very helpful. But the clerk has had a
_very_ heavy night and a bit more help for him would be nice.
I think rf has a route, I do not have a data base though. But I
will keep his code (thanks rf, if I have understood you?) for
future or mull over it a while.
There are many other ways I can work things but it would be nice
to get or make some script I could stick on the page in the head
to cause row 473 at url#473 to stand out. AD says it cannot be
done server-side. JS will do, I guess, for this. So now to think
about or find a js script to do the job. If anyone knows a
specific url to any js that would help, I would appreciate it.
About the actual styling I favour more than just background
colour, I rather fancy a lot more padding, that would grab the
clerk's attention.
