<rank>7</rank>
<country code="de">Germany</country>
<users>50616000</users>
<year>Europe</year>

Also, there are the five continents, how the choose a row color for each continents?

First, you'd want to disable the default style (or not enable them). These would be .aw-mouseover-row and .aw-rows-selected

Next, you'll need to write some JavaScript to set the colour. This code does it for the text colour of a cell -

obj.defineCellProperty("color")
        obj.setCellColor(function(col, row)
        {
            switch (col)
            {
            case 6:
                return this.getCellText(col, row).indexOf('text') == 0 ? "black" : "red"
            case 8:
                return this.getCellText(8, row).indexOf('some text') == 0 ? "red" : "black"
            }
            return "black"
        })
        obj.getCellTemplate().setStyle("color", function(){
            return this.getCellProperty("color")})

So it looks at the contents of columns 6 and 8 and sets the text colour of the column accordingly.

So, for the background colour of a row, you'd want to define a row property for the background, then set the row background colour based on the contents of your desired column by calling getRowTemplate().

Thank you very much Anthony !!
