I need to highlight a table row on mouse over. Seems like an easy enough thing to do, right? Especially using jQuery. But alas, I'm not so lucky. 

I've tested different solutions for highlighting a table row, but nothing seem to work :-(

I have tested the following scripts:

```
// TEST one    
jQuery(document).ready(function() { 

  jQuery("#storeListTable tr").mouseover(function () { 
    $(this).parents('#storeListTable tr').toggleClass("highlight"); 
    alert('test'); // Just to test the mouseover event works
  }); 

});

//TEST 2
jQuery(document).ready(function() { 

   $("#storeListTable tbody tr").hover( 
     function() {  // mouseover 
          $(this).addClass('highlight'); 
     }, 
     function() {  // mouseout 
          $(this).removeClass('highlight'); 
     } 
   );
});

```

**This is my HTML code**

```
<html> 
  <head> 
  <title>Title</title> 
  <link rel="stylesheet" href="css/storeLocator.css" type="text/css" 
media="screen" charset="utf-8" /> 
  <script type="text/javascript" src="js/jquery.js" charset="utf-8"></ 
script> 
  </head> 
  <body> 

<table id="storeListTable"> 
    <thead> 
      <tr class="even"> 
        <th>ID</th> 
        <th>Navn</th> 
        <th>E-post</th> 
        <th>Nettside</th> 
      </tr> 
    </thead> 
    <tbody> 
      <tr class="" id="store1"> 
        <td>10</td> 
        <td>Boss Store Oslo</td> 
        <td> <a href="mailto:">E-post</a></td> 
        <td> <a href="#">www</a></td> 
      </tr> 
      <tr class="" id="store3"> 
        <td>8</td> 
        <td>Brandstad Oslo City</td> 
        <td> <a href="mailto:a@brandstad.no">E-post</a></td> 
        <td> <a href="#">www</a></td> 
      </tr> 
      <tr class="even" id="store4"> 
        <td>7</td> 
        <td>Fashion Partner AS</td> 
        <td> <a href="mailto:b@fashionpartners.com">E-post</a></td> 
        <td> <a href="#">www</a></td> 
      </tr> 
      <tr class="" id="store5"> 
        <td>1</td> 
        <td>Follestad</td> 
        <td> <a href="mailto:c@online.no">E-post</a></td> 
        <td> <a href="#">www</a></td> 
      </tr> 
      <tr class="even" id="store6"> 
        <td>2</td> 
        <td>Follestad</td> 
        <td> <a href="mailto:d@follestad.com">E-post</a></td> 
        <td> <a href="#">www</a></td> 
      </tr> 
    </tbody> 
  </table> 
  </body> 
</html>

```

So.... could anyone give me a push in the right direction?

**UPDATE** 

I'm not using jQuery to highlight table rows any more, but CSS.

This is for list elements, but I'm guessing this will work for table rows as well:

li:nth-child(odd) { background-color: #f3f3f3; }
