You can comma-delimit the selector, so you can package up all the td
elements you're looking for into one $ function.
Also, if you limit your context (to, say, the table in question), it'll
help speed things up.
mytable = $("#mytable");
FlexCells = $("[EMAIL PROTECTED]" + ShiftDate + "], [EMAIL PROTECTED]" +
ShiftDate2 + "]", mytable);
This is a good start. Once you have all your elements, you can iterate
thorugh them with $.each(), which is relatively speedy.
