Jay, see the following example for using this with tablesorter: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/642364/blogger/scripts/jq-highlight-ts.html

The two changes I had to make was make the .highlight css rules !important, and tweak the code to add/remove the hover class as $(this).parents('tr').find('td') so that is adds the .highlight class directly on the cells rather than rows.

I haven't tried it, but inspecting the tablesorter HTML in Firebug it looks like the two methods should work together. That is, say you have a table with id #myTable, you would first attach the tablesorter and then run the code I supplied above to make the rows highlightable and clickable. It should look something like this:

$(document).ready(function(){
$("#myTable").tablesorter();
$("#myTable tbody td").hover(function() { $(this).parents('tr').addClass('highlight');
}, function() { $(this).parents('tr').removeClass('highlight');
});
});
