Keep row highlighted using jQuery

Question

Hello!
I'm using the following code to highlight a row in my report, calling it via an onclick event -
function highLight( pThis ){
 $('td').removeClass('current');
 $(pThis).parent().parent().children().addClass('current') ;
I have an icon in the same row that opens a popup page where a user can edit that particular record. Once the changes have been made and the 'Apply changes' button is clicked, the popup window closes and the page is refreshed to show the changes, but my row highlight disappears. How can I go about keeping that row highlighted after the page has reloaded?
Thank you!

Answer 1

I give...I've spent the past few days trying to figure out how the value in my hidden variable will help identify the row that I need to highlight. I have 2 buttons in each row...one button, when clicked, calls the highLight function and the row is highlighted and the pThis value returns "http://.....f?p=111:34:123456789012232::::P34_TEST:1". The other button opens the popup...I make my changes, click Apply Changes to submit and close the popup, I set my P34_TEST hidden value to the ID, which equals 1, but how am I supposed to modify the highLight function and call the function and use the ID value to find the row I want to highlight? I added a class to the column like you recommended, but when I click the first button to highlight the row, it highlights all of the columns in the table, which I understand why it does that, I just don't know how to identify the class with the ID. I know that probably doesn't make much sense to you, but I don't know enough about jQuery to put all the pieces together. I'm not looking for someone to hand me the answer, I just don't understand how it's supposed to work. Can you give me a little more detailed information on how to go about doing this?
Thank you,
