Thanks for your quick support! Here, I tried with the below code which is working fine. Howevr, in the date place (' 9/8/2000 ') I want to call the max date variable, so that all the rows except max date will highlight. "targets": [0], "createdCell": function (td, cellData, rowData, row, col) { debugger; if (cellData var rowIndex = row + 1; $($('#tblData tbody tr:nth-child(' + rowIndex + ')')).addClass('highlight'); } }

Your code has: maxCell.addClass('highlight'); maxCell is set to $(this) but I do not know what $(this) is. The name maxCell implies it is a cell. You say you want an entire row to be Red but you are only getting a single cell highlighted. I assume that highlighted means Red. The only place I see the color Red is for the highlight class. If you are setting only a cell to have that class then you are getting only a cell with that class.

I tried with the below.. however, it's highlighting only one cell instead of entire row and the other rows with older dates @foreach (var item in Model) { @Html.DisplayFor(model => item.birthDate) @Html.DisplayFor(modelItem => item.name) @Html.DisplayFor(modelItem => item.group) $(function (td, cellData, rowData, row, col) { var maxCell = undefined; var maxVal = undefined; $('.dateRow').each(function () { var that = $(this); var dt = new Date(that.text()); if (!maxCell || dt maxCell = that; maxVal = dt; } }); maxCell.addClass('highlight'); }); .highlight { background-color: red; }
