Hi
I am working grid within a grid.

i have a drop downlist.

like in drop down

office1
office2
office3
office4

if i select office1 in dropdown

i get result like

Trip1
office1 office2 office3

10:00 10:40 11:00

Trip2

office2 office3 office1

16:00 16:40 17:00

-----so i when i select office1 from drop down i get two trip list[2 grids get binded with in main grid]....whereever office1 is there it will show the result--------

--till here everything is fine--- now suppose some situation comes like office1 is in 10 places--user wll be confused--- So I was thinkng like if user selects office1....whereever he office1 is there in the grid--the header becomes different color /or highlighted

For Example: in above case[i am showing it as capital letter for office1 ...as i cant highlight here]

CSS

Trip1
OFFICE1 office2 office3

10:00     10:40   11:00

Trip2

office2  office3   OFFICE1

16:00     16:40     17:00

--so the thing is like highlighing header of a gridview column which is selected in dropdown
