Topic awaiting preservation: writing classes based on link urls

Is it possible using javascript to search a page (forum listings) and apply a class to the TR that contains a td>a with a particular variable in the url of said link?

Did that even make any sense?

I made a picture of what I'm trying to say since my javascript vocabulary is non-exisitant

Yep that's possible.
You could getElementsByTagName( 'A' ) on the handle of the table to get the collection of A tags in your table. Then with a simple loop on that collection check if your search string appears in the href attribute of each A tag. If the search string is found, pick the parentNode of the A until you reach the TR tag and bam!

Do you need a code sample ?

code sample, um, yes?

I *think* I understood most of that, got a little twisted at the mention of the "handle of the table"... you're talking about an ID for the table?

thanks poi
