jQuery/JavaScript Java VBA

I tried to manually trigger the color change through the jQuery trigger() method, but it didn't work. I found the issue was at the very end of the colorize module, I replaced

this.onclick = function() {
if(checkBan.call(this)) return;
handler.clickFunc.call(this, cells);
}

with

$(this).bind("click", function() {
if(checkBan.call(this)) return;
handler.clickFunc.call(this, cells);
});

By using bind() rather than attaching directly to the onclick event, I could then use trigger() on the td object and make the cell colorize.
