Selected row highlighted only for split second

Question

Hi, i am using the following javascript to highlight the row i select and to turn the selected rows background to yellow. The background changes to yellow when the row is clicked but only for a split second.
var rindx=null;
var rint=null;
function myhandler() {
     rindx = document.forms['resultsForm'].elements['routeDisplayId'].value;
     var rint = parseInt(rindx);
     trs = document.getElementById('resultsForm:routeList:tbody_element').getElementsByTagName('tr');
     trs[rint].bgColor = "#FFFF66";
the function i then called in the dataTable below:
<t:dataTable id="routeList" value="#{RouteHandler.routeWithIdList}" var="rowElement" rowIndexVar="rowIndex" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="3"
border="0" headerClass="listhead" columnClasses="listresults" bgcolor="#FFFFFF" rowOnClick="myhandler()">
<t:column width="104">
                              <h:commandLink id="editLinkCarrier" action="#{RouteHandler.prepareAddScheduleAction}" >
                                   <h:outputText value="#{rowElement.carrierCode}"/>
                                   <f:param name="routeDisplayId" value="#{rowElement.routeDisplayId }" />
                                   </h:commandLink>
                              </t:column>
<t:column width="165">
<h:commandLink id="editLinkDeptAirport" action="#{RouteHandler.prepareAddScheduleAction}" >
                                   <h:outputText value="#{rowElement.departureAirport}"/>
                                   <f:param name="routeDisplayId" value="#{rowElement.routeDisplayId }"/>
                                   </h:commandLink>
</t:column>
<t:column width="920">
<h:commandLink id="editLinkArrAirport" action="#{RouteHandler.prepareAddScheduleAction}" >
                                   <h:outputText value="#{rowElement.arrivalAirport}" />
                                   <f:param name="routeDisplayId" value="#{rowElement.routeDisplayId }"/>
                                   </h:commandLink>
</t:column>
</t:dataTable>
If anyone can help or guide me in the right direction i'd really appreciate it. Thanks.
