Change row background color based on different column data
Change row background color based on different column data

Anyone know how to change the background color based on different column data?
This works great for changing the color for one value but what if you have multiple values?
$(document).ready(function() {
var oTable = $('#example').dataTable();
// Filter to rows with 'Webkit' in them, add a background colour and then
// remove the filter, thus highlighting the 'Webkit' rows only.
oTable.fnFilter('Webkit');
oTable.$('tr', {"filter": "applied"}).css('backgroundColor', 'blue');
oTable.fnFilter('');
} );
Let's say I have a column and it's values can be "Webkit", "Javascript", "HTML", "XML" and "Other". I want the rows for "Webkit" to be green, red for "Javascript", blue for "HTML" and so on. Only "Other" should not have a background color.
How would you do that? Adding the above code twice or multiple times doesn't work.
