Changing GridView cell colour based on DropDownList selection

[StevenK]

I have a DropDownList control within a cell in a row in a GridView control on my web page.

Ideally what I want is that when a user changes the selection in the DropDownList control, the cell changes colour (i.e. maybe green) to indicate some further action needs to be taken - i.e. the 'Update' button/link should then be clicked - after which the cell colour is returned to it's original colour.

How can this be done?

yes, javascript is your best choice for this. I would also recommend a js library like jquery, prototype, or dojo to do most of the js work for you.

I guessed that javascript was the way to go with this.

Can anyone suggest how to make use of this in this example?

Thanks again.

start with a library: jquery, dojo, prototype and go from there. I would spike an html example first, then apply it to your webform.
