jQuery highlight row based on header $_GET variable

Question

I have small dashboard of recently added records and I want to highlight the table row based on a header $_GET variable.

I already have one header, called myVariable, so I propose using an &myVariable2 ?

index.php?**myVariable**=1&**myVariable2**=2

When this URL is visited, it highlights the row with the record of $myID.

How do I get jQuery to highlight the row (Background colour is fine) based on $myID (header)? If this isn't possible I can always add it into a variable and do something with jQuery.

I have the ID in a $variable, and need to highlight the row with that $variable. $row[variableID] in mysql.

How are you creating the table? Post the code for the table. — brenjt, Oct 11 '11 at 15:27
Just a simple while loop outputting all records in the database. — SMacFadyen, Oct 11 '11 at 15:30

Something like

 $(".rows[data-id='<?php echo intval($_GET['highlight']); ?>']").css('background-color', 'yellow');

would be fine. Just add data-id to your .rows and change $_GET['highlight'] to your one

Or instead of using php to get the query values, you can use javascript. See this question How can I get query string values in JavaScript?

Instead of using php to get the query values, you can use javascript. See this question http://stackoverflow.com/questions/901115/get-query-string-values-in-javascript – Ragnar123 Oct 11 '11 at 15:29
@Ragnar123: why? That's complicated and this one is even faster – genesis Oct 11 '11 at 15:29
Really don't understand this :P – SMacFadyen Oct 11 '11 at 15:32
How should I call this JS? what is .rows, the class of my row? – SMacFadyen Oct 11 '11 at 15:40
@genesisΨψ I just thought it would be appropriate to mention, that this issue could be solved using only javascript. – Ragnar123 Oct 11 '11 at 22:08
@Ragnar123: ah, okay. I'll link to that question. Thanks – genesis Oct 11 '11 at 22:20
