I have a table in php fed by mysql that displays upcoming events. Would it be possible to apply css to a table cell or row if the date is older than today or maybe if date is today? I would like to maybe colour the row red id date is older than today?

A typical example of my table row which displays the dates is `<td><abbr class="timeago" title="<?php echo $row_rsEventChase['start_date']; ?>"></abbr></td>`

Any help much appreciated..
