title: Select table cells based on the value in the cell
body: <p>I have a table as shown in <a href="http://jsfiddle.net/Lijo/UqdQp/4/" rel="nofollow noreferrer">http://jsfiddle.net/Lijo/UqdQp/4/</a>. I need to set background color as red for all columns that has value “1”.  What is the best way (in terms of performance) for doing this using jQuery? </p>
  
  <p>Note: After doing the background color, I need to alert the value of the table cell also. That means I need to use “this” operator on the selected cell.</p>
