This example demonstrates grid highlighting using an outline. This usually performs better on the client than highlighting with a CSS class.
var opts = {  
  highlightMethod : 'outline',
  highlightElem   : 'cursorRow',
  frozenColumns   : 2,
  columnSpecs     : [,,,,,{type:'date'},{type:'date'}]
};
