You could make a controller-object, which keeps a pointer to the
selected index, rather than traversing through the dom each time you
change the active cell.
Something along :
<script type="text/javascript">
MyController = {
selected : null,
select : function(elm) {
if (this.selected) {
this.selected.className = "";
}
this.selected = elm;
elm.className = "selected";
}
}
</script>
<table>
<tr>
<td onclick="MyController.select(this)">foo</td>
<tr>
<tr>
<td onclick="MyController.select(this)">bar</td>
<tr>
</table>
