Best way to set cell onmouseover style

Hi everyone,

I have a grid which has alternate rows styled with:
.aw-alternate-even {background: #fff;}
.aw-alternate-odd {background: #eee;}
and with the row selector enabled:
obj.setSelectionMode("single-row");
In one particular column (col 8) I want to have an additional style effect which is a cell background color change when the mouse is over a cell. This is what I've got so far:

obj.onCellMouseOver = function(event, column, row){
    if(column == 8) {
    obj.getCellTemplate(column, row).setStyle("background","#bbb");
    }
};

obj.onCellMouseOut = function(event, column, row){
    if(column == 8) {
    // test for whether row number is odd or even
    // if modulus is zero condition is false
    var row_position = obj.getRowPosition(row);
        
    if (row_position%2) {
    obj.getCellTemplate(column, row).setStyle("background","#eee");
    }
    else {
    obj.getCellTemplate(column, row).setStyle("background","#fff");
        }
    }
};

This nearly works but not quite. It changes the background of the cell when hovered over and changes it back again to the correct odd/even background OK. Where it fails, however, is when a row is selected (that has previously had column 8 hovered over) then the selected row style (white text color on blue background) disappears on that cell (OK on the rest of the row).

What I need to be able to do I think is somthing like "reset" the class .aw-row-selected for the cell that has been previouslyhovered over.

I can't help thinking that there must be more elegant & efficient ways of doing all this.

If anybody has any ideas on this your input would be gratefully received as always.

Will,

this probably should work better -

obj.onCellMouseOver = function(event, column, row){
if(column == 8) {
     obj.getCellTemplate(column, row).setStyle("background","#bbb");
}
};

obj.onCellMouseOut = function(event, column, row){
if(column == 8) {
     obj.getCellTemplate(column, row).setStyle("background","none");
}
};

Yes that's spot on: it doesn't interfere with the style of the row selector which was the problem I was having.

Thanks once again!
