    copied!<p>I have a table with a list of records. each row has class "list_request" and has a cell of class "record_approval":</p> <pre><code>&lt;table&gt; &lt;tr&gt; &lt;th&gt;name&lt;/th&gt;&lt;th&gt;date&lt;/th&gt;&lt;th&gt;id&lt;/th&gt;&lt;th&gt;group&lt;/th&gt;&lt;th&gt;approval&lt;/th&gt; &lt;tr class="list_request"&gt; &lt;td&gt;Frank&lt;/td&gt;&lt;td&gt;2012-2-15&lt;/td&gt;&lt;td&gt;01&lt;/td&gt;&lt;td&gt;Account&lt;/td&gt;&lt;td class="record_approval"&gt;Dave Ellis&lt;/td&gt; &lt;/tr&gt; &lt;tr class="list_request"&gt; &lt;td&gt;Ellen&lt;/td&gt;&lt;td&gt;2012-2-19&lt;/td&gt;&lt;td&gt;04&lt;/td&gt;&lt;td&gt;Admin&lt;/td&gt;&lt;td class="record_approval"&gt;Susan Peters&lt;/td&gt; &lt;/tr&gt; &lt;tr class="list_request"&gt; &lt;td&gt;Michael&lt;/td&gt;&lt;td&gt;2012-2-26&lt;/td&gt;&lt;td&gt;06&lt;/td&gt;&lt;td&gt;Admin&lt;/td&gt;&lt;td class="record_approval"&gt;&lt;/td&gt; &lt;/tr&gt; </code></pre> <p></p> <p>I'd like to construct a javascript function that checks whether or not "record_approval" has a value (which value is unimportant), and if so, change the css color value for that row. Essentially, the approved records should have a different color than the unapproved ones. something like...</p> <pre><code>function check_approval(){ var checkrow = document.querySelectorAll( "tr.request_list" ) var checkcell = document.querySelectorAll( "td.record_approval" ) for (i=0;i&lt;checkcell.length;i++){ if (!checkcell.value){ this.parentNode.style.color = "ff9900"; } else{ } } </code></pre> <p>is this essentially the wrong approach?</p>
