[thelist] Coloring specific table cells based on a variable

Do it in CSS, no JavaScript needed. Give the BODY a class of home, library, 
programs, etc. then do

BODY.home TD {background-color: #ffffff;}
BODY.library TD
BODY.programs TD

which means 'any TD inside a BODY with class="home"' (or library or 
programs).

Much simpler.
