Dynamic background colors for rows

Is it possible to set the background color based on the values in the rows first column?



For instance I’ve got rows of meetings where the first column is a date. If that date is within this month I’d like to color the corresponding row yellow, if the date is next month I want the corresponding row to be green and so on. I was wondering if I could tweak the code you did for my previous dynamic colored cell question?



Thanks

Most simple solution - use onRowCreated event

grid.attachEvent(“onRowCreated”,function(id){
if (some_check(grid.cells(id,0).getValue()))
grid.setRowTextStyle(id,“background-color:yellow”);
else
grid.setRowTextStyle(id,“background-color:green”);
})

where some_check - your date checking function

By the way, if you are using non-default date format - client side date parsing and checking may be a pretty complicated, it would be much easier to do such operation on server side and provide extra flag through userdata or row attribute

Thanks that did it! I like your server side suggestion.
