Row highlighting in standard report

Question

I'm trying to apply a background color (ie highlighting) to a row in a standard report. The report is a summary list of several records from a table. Below this region is a form region where one can navigate and update specific records. There are way too many fields to do this using a standard tabular form. I'd like to highlight or apply the background color to the row shown in the lower region. Can anyone suggest how to do this?
:P806_LOAD_RATE_ID is the primary key item. It is display only.

Here's what you can try
Modify the tab report query to be select apex_item.DISPLAY_AND_SAVE(50, LOAD_RATE_ID,'f50_' ||load_rate_id) ID,  // give this col an unique id
    apex_item.CHECKBOX(1, LOAD_RATE_ID) CHK,   
   apex_item.DISPLAY_AND_SAVE( 2, FACTORY_ID) as FACTORY_ID,
    apex_item.DISPLAY_AND_SAVE( 3, STATION_ID) as STATION_ID,
    apex_item.DISPLAY_AND_SAVE( 4, PILE_CODE_ID) as  PILE_CODE_ID,
    apex_item.DISPLAY_AND_SAVE( 5, CONFIG) as CONFIG,
    apex_item.DISPLAY_AND_SAVE( 6, ALTERNATE_FLAG) as SPECIAL,
    apex_item.DISPLAY_AND_SAVE( 7, CYCLE_TIME) as CYCLE_TIME,
    apex_item.DISPLAY_AND_SAVE( 8, CYCLE_MILES) as CYCLE_MILES,
    apex_item.DISPLAY_AND_SAVE( 9, BID_TONS) as BID_TONS
  from  LOAD_RATES where FACTORY_ID = :P802_FACTORY_IDThen in the Footer Text of the page definition <script>
obj= $x('f50_' + $v('P806_LOAD_RATE_ID')) // get the handle for the display item
obj.offsetParent.parentNode.style.backgroundColor='blue';  // traverse up to the 'tr' element and set its bg-color to blue
</script>   varad
