hovering of tds



I have a table in my application. I need to start hovering effect on a td when that cell is clicked and then stop hovering till the next click. Also mouseover to the next row of td that (hovering a range of tds). I am new to jquery. Please help.







jQuery('td').hover(function(){

jQuery(this).css("background","#000");

}, function(){

jQuery(this).css("background","green");

});

  1. Why are you using JavaScript to do what CSS was (Essentially) made to do?

    td { background-color: green; }
    td:hover { background-color: #000; }


    But, if you're intent is to only have it apply the hover effect when it's been clicked, you can do so with the addition of a new class, "clicked" (or whatever you'd like to name it).

    td { background-color: green; }
    td.clicked:hover { background-color: #000; }

    $(function(){
    $('td').click(function(){
    $(this).toggleClass('clicked');
    });
    });


    Then only when the "clicked" class is applied will it apply a hover effect. Likewise, you can make "clicked" the (pseudo) hover style sheet using the same code as above, with the addition of:

    td.clicked { background-color: #000; }


    And here's an example of the above scenarios: http://jsfiddle.net/NNxvP/

    Your question was a bit ambiguous so I'm taking a best-shot here. If I'm off base, let me know in a comment and I'll do my best to correct my answer.

Slow Android emulator

I have a 2.67 GHz Celeron processor, 1.21 GB of RAM on a x86 Windows XP Professional machine. My understanding is that the Android emulator should start fairly quickly on such a machine, but for me it does not. I have followed all instructions in setting up the IDE, SDKs, JDKs and such and have had some success in staring the emulator quickly but is very particulary. How can I, if possible, fix this problem?
