[Solved] contains tag using a var

  • I wasn't sure where to put this under, the site is php, using javascript to change css.

    What I'm trying to do is say if a column contains todays date change its background color, if another column contains todays date change its background color to a different color. I'm not at all an expert, it may be as simple as i just don't know the correct terminology to make it work.

    <script type="text/javascript">

    var today = new Date(); today.setHours(0); today.setMinutes(0); today.setSeconds(0); today.setMiliseconds(0);

    $(document).ready(function() { $('.start:contains(today)').css('background-color', '#99FF99'); $('.end:contains(today)').css('background-color', '#F5BCA9'); }); </script>

  • <script type="text/javascript"> $(document).ready(function() { var d = new Date(); var curr_date = d.getDate(); var curr_month = d.getMonth() + 1; //Months are zero based var curr_year = d.getFullYear(); var today = (curr_month + "/" + curr_date + "/" + curr_year); //$('.start.contains('" + today + "')').css('background-color', '#999999'); $(".start:contains('" + today.toString() + "')").css('background-color', '#99FF99'); $(".end:contains('" + today.toString() + "')").css('background-color', '#F5BCA9'); }); </script>
