how to change the background color of specific table cell in java???

Thanks aspdotnetdev for ur answer

how can i do that ????

Thanks .

Basem,

Thanks aspdotnetdev very much , :)

i have seen that link before and the problem still found since this code change the background of the whole table's cell :(


Thanks,

What do you mean by "problem still found since this code change the background of the whole table's cell"? I thought you only wanted to change the background color of an individual cell? I downloaded and ran the code from the webpage I sent to you and it made the backgrounds of only certain cells red. Isn't that what you want?

Thanks aspdotnetdev for ur effort ,

simply i have to implement the code of Connect 4 game
and i use the table to implement the game board and i need to represent the 2 players in 2 different color since when any player hits any column with the mouse i change the empty cell with the player color according to the game rules

this what i want in simple way?? :)

since i can change the color of the selected cell by the mouse as i told u before since i get only the column number when the player select the column by the mouse and the row number i get it according to the game rules.

now i have the column number and the row number so i want to change the background color with the player color and so on.


Thanks Again and And best Regards,


Basem.

In theory, the children of the table would be the table rows (TR). You could do a for loop over those until you reached the desired row. The children of the rows would probably be the TD's (the columns). You could loop over those until you reach the specified column. Then you could set the style properties on that TD.

Alternatively, you could give each TD an ID (e.g., "R1C1", "R1C2", "R2C1", etc.) then just use getElementById to find the TD at that row/column.

EDIT: I assumed you meant JavaScript, but I see you have tagged this as Java. If I was incorrect, go ahead and vote my answer a 1 and I'll remove it.
