Look at demos, there is a such example. Also there are a lot of othre post regarding this.

In general you will need to use afterInsertRow event with disabled gridview mode.

I simply want to highlight all the rows in a table that contain the Failed word to yellow.

I did the following:

$('#jsonmap td:contains(Failed)').parent().addClass('row');

where row:

  <style>
    .row   
    {
     background-color:Yellow;
    }
    </style>

Doesn't seem to work.. please help.

When debuging with firebug my tr has the following class: ui-widget-content jqgrow ui-row-ltr so I also tried removeClass("ui-widget-content jqgrow ui-row-ltr").addClass("row").. doesn't seem to work either.

Thank you!
