I successfully implemented a feature where a cell (td-element) is highlighted when clicked by the user.
However, I now want the entire column to be highlighted with the cell itself having a slight variation.
I am struggling with achieving the last part, which is highlighting the entire column.
Any assistance with this is greatly appreciated.
The desired result would look something like this:

function handleBlur(event) {
event.target.contentEditable = false;
}
document.querySelector('body').addEventListener('click', function(event) {
if (event.target.tagName.toLowerCase() === 'td') {
event.target.contentEditable = true;
event.target.focus();
event.target.addEventListener("blur", handleBlur);
}
});table {
font-family: arial, sans-serif;
border-collapse: collapse;
width: 500px;
margin: 50px 0 0 50px;
}
td,
th {
border: 1px solid #dddddd;
text-align: left;
padding: 8px;
}
th {
background-color: white;
}
table td[contentEditable=true]{
-webkit-box-shadow: inset 0px 0px 0px 200px rgba(186,210,225,0.51);
-moz-box-shadow: inset 0px 0px 0px 200px rgba(186,210,225,0.51);
box-shadow: inset 0px 0px 0px 200px rgba(186,210,225,0.51);
outline: 3px solid #086AA7;}<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/2.1.1/jquery.min.js"></script>
