Changing row color depending on a column's text

Hi,

My first column in my grid will, for several rows, have the same text, then, an other text for several rows and so on.
I’d like to change the background color of the rows according to the text of the first column (same text = same color)
The problem is that I don’t know what text will be in the first column…

I guess it’s quite the same as even/uneven rows but with several rows of same text.
Is it a possible? And how?

Thanks a lot

(sorry for my english:)

The best way to implement this is to create custom eXCell type which will format row based on it’s value. Please find more information here docs.dhtmlx.com/doku.php?id=dhtm … l_creation

Thanks for the reply.
So far I understood most of dhtmlxGrid but I tried to understand eXCells and I really don’t know how to do what I’d like to do.
Any chance you could help me out with some clues, at least?

Thanks again
