title: Dynamic text highlighting using the rel value from a link on a previous page
body: <p>This might not be possible but I'll throw it out there anyway. I want a way to highlight text so that when you come to a page from a link, jQuery would highlight specific text using the rel attribute from the link (or some other identifier).</p>
  
  <p>For example, let's say I have an event registration site and there is a section for 'Speakers' that will be giving talks at various seminars throughout the event. Then there's a separate page with a calendar for when the speakers will be presenting.</p>
  
  <p>The speaker's name and pic are linked to the calendar which is table based. So far I've only been able to link the speaker's pic and name to a table row on the calendar page using an id in the table row where the respective time slot is contained.</p>
  
  <p>The problem is that sometimes one speaker will be lumped in with other speakers or their table row is too close to the bottom and so the browser window won't align with it exactly. The readability degrades or the name gets lost in the jumble.</p>
  
  <p>I'm trying to figure out how to highlight the speaker's name in the agenda table based on whichever speaker the user clicked on in the 'Speakers' section. This way if the browser window doesn't align the name will be visible and the user won't have to scan for it.</p>
  
  <p>Any suggestions? I appreciate anything, I am relatively green with jQuery. Thank you.</p>
