from say here
http://amdivers.co.uk/AM%20Divers%20...ESTWeb/AD.html
I want the individual adventure dives row to be some how highlighted.

if they come from here
http://amdivers.co.uk/AM%20Divers%20...STWeb/MSD.html
I wante Master Scuba Diver row to be highlighted.

I was going to try and set a class with CSS from the AD page or MSD page or what ever page they come from, but I dont know how to change a table style so its unquie esp if they Just come from the
http://www.amdivers.co.uk/AMDivers_S...rses_Hull.html

First, Java is not JavaScript.

Second, if your users can get by without the behavior you indicated, it is ok to use JavaScript even though it can be turned off.

Third, you can't use JavaScript to manipulate ANYTHING on an external page. There is a strict same origin policy.

Fourth, I'm not sure I understand your question, because your title doesn't seem to follow with the rest of your question.

I have solved the problem after a bit of surfing, I have added this to the prices page
<body>
<script type="text/javascript">
window.onload=function() {
if(location.hash) {
document.getElementById(location.hash.substring(1) ).parentNode.style.backgroundColor='yellow';
window.parent.location ="#TOPPAGE"; }
};
</script>
<a name="TOPPAGE"</a>
And a link on the other pages with a #AD or #AOW or #Dry etc depending on which page they came from and the results can be seen from

Just click on Price List Link
or

Etc.
