This template enables row hover highlighting via wikitable class modifiers mw-datatable and hover-highlight.
In addition to adding row highlights, mw-datatable also changes the background of the cells to white. To only add a highlight, use hover-highlight.
Using {{row hover highlight}}
[edit]Basic usage:
Wikitext
{{row hover highlight}}
{| class=mw-datatable
|-
! 1 !! 2 !! 3
|-
| 1-1 || 2-1 || 3-1
|-
| 1-2 || 2-2 || 3-2
|}
Rendered result
| 1 | 2 | 3 |
|---|---|---|
| 1-1 | 2-1 | 3-1 |
| 1-2 | 2-2 | 3-2 |
class=mw-datatable can be used in combination with class=wikitable, in which case the non-header cells will have a white background.
Wikitext
{{row hover highlight}}
{| class="wikitable mw-datatable"
|-
! 1 !! 2 !! 3
|-
| 1-1 || 2-1 || 3-1
|-
| 1-2 || 2-2 || 3-2
|}
Rendered result
| 1 | 2 | 3 |
|---|---|---|
| 1-1 | 2-1 | 3-1 |
| 1-2 | 2-2 | 3-2 |
To keep the light gray background from class=wikitable, use class=hover-highlight:
Wikitext
{{row hover highlight}}
{| class="wikitable hover-highlight"
|-
! 1 !! 2 !! 3
|-
| 1-1 || 2-1 || 3-1
|-
| 1-2 || 2-2 || 3-2
|}
Rendered result
| 1 | 2 | 3 |
|---|---|---|
| 1-1 | 2-1 | 3-1 |
| 1-2 | 2-2 | 3-2 |
Using {{mw-datatable}} for white background
[edit]If you want a white background for data cells, then this may be easier to remember since the template and class name are the same.
Wikitext
{{mw-datatable}}
{| class="wikitable mw-datatable"
|-
! 1 !! 2 !! 3
|-
| 1-1 || 2-1 || 3-1
|-
| 1-2 || 2-2 || 3-2
|}
Rendered result
| 1 | 2 | 3 |
|---|---|---|
| 1-1 | 2-1 | 3-1 |
| 1-2 | 2-2 | 3-2 |
