[jQuery] Conditionally format rows in a table

[Marcel Roesink]

I have the following code:

            $().ready(function() {
                $("td:contains('HENGELO')").parent().children().addClass
('red');
            });

Now I want to get the condition from an ASP control for example a
dropdown or a listbox. How do I use the value of this control in my
jQuery code?
