The correct name of the css property is background-color, also the entire row is the parent element.

$("#pagination_table tr td:contains('FAX')").parent().css('background-color','red');

Also that code will only highlight the table cell, you would need

$("#pagination_table tr td:contains('FAX')").closest('tr').css('background-color', 'red');
