form / table cell background colour change

[chiprivers]

Can somebody help me with a function that I can put in the onChange of a checkbox in a form that will change the colour of the table cell that the box is in so that it is coloured when the box is checked and blank when unchecked.

assuming that the parent element of the checkbox is the cell, you can try something like this

 

function highlightCell(ele_id){

var ele = document.getElementById(ele_id);

var ele_parent = ele.parentNode;

var off = '#ccc', on = '#f00';

ele_parent.style.background = (ele_parent.style.background == on) ? off : on;

}
