Could this be ?
function ofertaDetalle(idoferta){
//this is quite odd, but should work
if( ofertaDetalle.$element )//if one was hilited
ofertaDetalle.$element.removeClass('hilightOn');//revert it to
normal
var selector = '#puestoAspira'+idoferta;//this gets you the
selector to match that specific TD
ofertaDetalle.$element = $(selector).addClass('hilightOn');//find
the new TD, highlight it and save it into ofertaDetalle.$element
};
Cheers.
