title: jquery conditional formating on negative number value
body: <p>I was able to find a few examples and pieced things together to get this working.</p>
  
  <pre><code>$(".status").filter(function () {
      return (/\(\)/).test($(this).html());
  })
      .closest(\'td\').css(\'background-color\', \'red\');
  });
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>However, I need to take this further and evaluate the negative value for a scalable conditional format.</p>
  
  <p>if value of td is positive backgrond-color should be green.
  if value of td is negative which is representied in parantheses (###,###) then I want to evaluate based on these conditions.</p>
  
  <pre><code>(1) thru (199,999) =  .closest('td').css('background-color', 'yellow');
  
  (200,000) or greater = .closest('td').css('background-color', 'red');
  </code></pre>
