Here\'s an example of my problem on jsFiddle.
I have a table with striped rows imposed by using tr:nth-child(odd) in the CSS, as is done in Twitter Boot
It is much easier, just use de Bootstrap css classes (like .info .warning .error or .success) to switch between the selected row and not selected. They have all the states for the row.
I used this, based on @iambriansreed answer:
$('#mytable tbody tr').live('click', function(event) {
$(this).addClass('info').siblings().removeClass('info');
}
