Highlight Table Cell, Answering property

Discussion
1

I’d like a boolean attribute to be able to highlight a cell in a table, to draw students attention to which cells they should be paying attention to. This would just shade the background of the cell a color according to a style definition, I think.

Ideally, this would combine with students clicking into an answer input. That is, when a student clicks in to start typing their answer, the table cells they should look at are highlighted. So, that would require a boolean property for that tells us if the student is currently clicked into the answer box or not.

If the answer property is too weird, I can get by with just the cell highlighting.

For the table cell, you’d want something like <cell highlight="true"> or <cell shaded="true">?

And then for an answer or input, you’d want some property like $myAnswer.focused which would be true if the user is currently clicked in the answer?

Is that all the pieces you are requesting or am I missing something?

Yep, that’s exactly it!
