$miles.css("background-color", bg);
$worktag.css("background-color", bg);

Finally found my answer to this.

CSS

.highlightedClass{
    background-color: #AEAF93;
}

JAVASCRIPT

                //if condition      
                        if($td_ID.text() === schedule.content().idInFirstColumn){
                                $2nd_tr.addClass("highlightedClass");                       
                        }else{
                            if($2nd_tr.hasClass("highlightedClass")){
                                $2nd_tr.removeClass("highlightedClass");
                            }
                        }

                        $('#viewResultsButton').on('click', function(){
                            if($td_ID.text() === schedule.content().idInFirstColumn){
                                $2nd_tr.addClass("highlightedClass");   
                            }else{
                                if($2nd_tr.hasClass("highlightedClass")){
                                    $2nd_tr.removeClass("highlightedClass");
                                }
                            }
                        });


                //else condition
                        if($td_ID.text() === schedule.content().idInFirstColumn){
                                $tr.addClass("highlightedClass");                       
                        }else{

                            if($tr.hasClass("highlightedClass")){
                                $tr.removeClass("highlightedClass");
                            }
                        }




    //outside of huge if/else/for loop mess.

    $('#viewResultsButton').on('click', function(){
        var flag= false;
        $('#alteratePlan > tbody  > tr').each(function() {
            $td_ID = $(this).find('.td_id');
            if($td_ID.text() === ''){
                if(flag === true){
                    $(this).addClass("highlightedClass");
                    flag= true;
                }
            }else{
                if($td_ID.text() === schedule.content().idInFirstColumn){
                    if($(this).hasClass("highlightedClass")){
                        flag= true;
                    }else{
                        $(this).addClass("highlightedClass");
                        flag= true;
                    }
                }else{
                    flag= false;
                    if($(this).hasClass("highlightedClass")){
                        $(this).removeClass("highlightedClass");

                    }
                }
            }

        });
    });

Answer 3

Alright so the problem here seems to be you have a mouseover and a click which conflict with each other because obviously mouseover will fire first and then onclick will fire so unless you go out and come back in it won't trigger the mouseover again.

Try this maybe

$("div input").hover(function() {
//Do you
});
