You can be as specific as you want. If you need to highlight only the tables
that have a particular ancestor, you could make the selector something like
document.on('mouseover', 'table.stripe tr', ...
and then you would only capture the tables that you had deliberately marked as
being "stripe-able". Or use the ID of that tab to scope the selection, or any
other CSS tricks you can think of. It's a very flexible approach.
