Maybe something like:
$('.colorPick').change(function() {
$(this).parent().parent().addClass('assigned');
});
where colorPick is the class assigned to your select menu.
You could also use:
$('.colorPick').change(function() {
$(this).parents('tr').addClass('assigned');
});
but my gut tells me that's not quite as efficient, as it will look
for 'tr' elements all the way up to the top of the DOM tree.
