Suppose you created an array called $class_value. In each cell you had
something like this:

<td class = "<?php $class_value[{$_GET[5]}]" ?>" >

and the way you clicked on the cell sent a "GET" that set the value of
$class_value[{$_GET[5]}] to "current" and then you had a style named
..current that set the background to the color you want the current cell
to be. Each cell would have a different matched "get" index set in the
class php and the "get" that was sent so that only the array with the
index in that cell would be turned to "current.

At the beginning of the script you would reset the value of
$class_value before the "get" set it for the current cell.

I think something like that might work.
