I'm a newbie so bear with me; I'm using jQuery datatables plugin and I need to select a row and change the color of the selcted row. I followed this [example](http://datatables.net/examples/api/select_single_row.html) from datatables but it doesn't work for me.

This is how i initialize the table:

```
var oTable = $("#rolesTable").dataTable({
    // "bJQueryUI": true,
    "iDisplayLength": 25,
    "aoColumns": [
        null,
        {"sType": "role"},
        null,
        null
    ],
    "aaSorting": [[1, "desc"], [0, "asc"]]
});

```

and this is the code for the click event and the CSS class:

```
<style>
.row_selected tr {
    background-color: black;
}
</style>

```

```
$("#rolesTable tbody tr").click(function (event) {
    $(oTable.fnSettings().aoData).each(function () {
        $(this.nTr).removeClass('row_selected');
    });
    $(event.target.parentNode).addClass('row_selected');
});

```

Sorry, I added the click handler
