Document.getElementById Manual Tabular Form

Question

Hi,
I’m working with APEX 4.1 and a manual tabular form.
I have a page level validation process that fires and ensures that the value in column 1 does not match the value in column 6. When it does it pops up an error message along the lines of: The project MY PROJECT (Row2) cannot be a default of itself.
That all works as it should but the bit I cannot figure out how to do is a background colour change in either the column 1 field of the invalid row or the entire invalid row.
The code (function returning and error) I’m using is:
DECLARE
l_error VARCHAR2 (4000);
BEGIN
FOR i IN 1 .. apex_application.g_f49.count
LOOP
IF apex_application.g_f01(i) = NVL (apex_application.g_f06(i), -1)
THEN
l_error := l_error
|| CASE
WHEN l_error IS NULL
THEN NULL
ELSE '
END
|| ' The project '
-- Project name
|| apex_application.g_f02(i)
|| ' '
-- I believe it is this bit that is wrong
|| '<a onclick="document.getElementById('''
|| 'f02_'
|| LPAD (i, 4, '0')
|| ''').style.background =''#FCCFCC'';'
|| '$f_First_field('''
|| 'f02_'
|| LPAD (i, 4, '0')
|| ''')'
|| '" href="#"'
|| '>'*/
-- Get the row
|| '(Row ' || i || ')'
|| '</a>'
|| ' cannot be it''s own default. '
END IF;
END LOOP;
RETURN LTRIM (l_error, '</br>');
END;
Would someone be so kind as to point out the error of my ways?
Many thanks for your time,
Danny
