Sorry for posting almost 3 years after the original release, but I just wanted to note that Highlight seems to lose functionality with jQuery 1.4.4.

Interesting plugin.

Spotted two issues with the demos…

1) Focus effect doesn’t work with radiobuttons or checkboxes in Chrome (haven’t tested in other browsers)

2) List highlight demo only highlights the sub and sub-sub ULs, not the outermost one.

Hi Ramesh, bit of a vague question really! I’d suggest reading anything by John Resig, and just playing, playing, playing.

I didn’t see anything on your site about licensing? Is this public domain – if I wanted to include it in a commercial application would you have any objections?

Thanks for the great plug-in. I fitted it to several tables in ASP.NET Web Forms/AJAX-based pages with a few tweaks. Here’s my code for anyone interested:


    function pageLoad() {

        $("#priceTable").highlight();

    };
    .highlight

    {

        background-color: #999966;

    }

Bloody Apple changing things as usual!

OK – I’ll see what I can do at some point in the near future. Thanks for the heads-up.

I just wanted to comment too that it doesn’t seem to work for radio buttons and check boxes in Safari 4. Otherwise: very neat!

Go ahead and use it JT. If I’ve published it with the intention of people viewing the source, that’s as good as a licence for me.
