Just a heads-up, but I recall when I did this that I had to do some 'extra'
coding. I'm not sure if you have the same scenario, but I wanted the row to be
highlighted, and the checkbox toggled when either the checkbox was clicked or
the row was clicked. I had to accommodate for the fact that when the checbox is
clicked, the TR trigger also fires, effectively causing a double fire.
