András, you can use CSS as MorningZ said: tr:hover td {/*some color*/}
If you're td's don't have a background color, you can put it directly on the tr tr:hover {/*some color*/} Note that IE6 doesn't support the :hover pseudo-class on elements other than anchors, to if IE6 support is needed, then you'll have to resort to JavaScript. This jQuery will work: $('tr').hover(function(){ $(this).addClass(CLASS_WITH_BACKGROUND_COLOR); } $(this).removeClass(CLASS_WITH_BACKGROUND_COLOR); ); You could also just use .css() and set the color that way, but keeping it in a CSS class has some advantages. Again, if your td's have a background color using a color on the TR won't help. You could add/ remove classes to the td's in the row, but the problem is still best solved with CSS: tr.CLASS_WITH_BACKGROUND_COLOR td{ background-color: some_color !important; } Depending upon where your CSS class is in the hierarchy and the specificity of other classes or inline styles (hopefully there are none), you may need an !important on the class, or some other change to ensure it's specificity is higher.
