Hi Bruce,
Adam's solution was very close, but you'll need an "s" on the end of
"parent."
$(this).parents('tr').highlightFade...
Also, if you have nested tables for some reason, you can put
the :first pseudo-class on the tr, like so:
$(this).parents('tr:first').highlightFade...
Let me know if that doesn't work for you.

Thanks Adam,
That's certainly closer, but it's not quite there - at least on my
page.
$(this).parent('tr').highlightFade.... doesn't fire.
On the other hand, $(this).parent('td').highlightFade... does fire
on the td within which the checkbox sits.
Sorry, but I'm unsure how to go one step further back to finger the
parent tr of the current td.
Cheers/Bruce

this).parent('tr'
this will apply the highlightFade method on the input's tr parent.
Cheers,
