I would like to use jQuery UI icons as action buttons in the last column of my grid. I have a column formatter making a div and a load of spans with ui-state-default, ui-icon classes etc.

Thing is, when the user selects a row, my icons get highlighted too.

I was wondering if there is any way I could hook into an event so that I can write my own selection routine?

I think I want to apply ui-state-highlight on a per-cell basis so that I can miss out my “Actions” cell. That is I _do_ want the row to be selected, I just want to control how it looks.

Yes, I can just use “standard buttons” – I am using them at the moment.
