Answer 1

IE has a problem with background colors for the TR element. A more safe way is to set background to the TD's and TH's inside the TR:

    

        
testcell
    

Added: you can assign a single event handler for the entire table to increase performance:

$('#tabletest').bind('click', function(e) {
    $(e.target).closest('tr').children('td,th').css('background-color','#000');
});
