Color in a table based on cell values on 6.0

Does anybody know how to configure the necessary .js and .css in an app to color the backgrounds of cells in a table based on their values?

I found this great question/answer for coloring in cell background based on cell values: http://answers.splunk.com/answers/83206/color-in-a-table-based-on-values

But... it doesn't work in Splunk 6.0. And since I've recently upgraded Splunk, the solution no longer works on my server.

I was able to find that the files to modify are dashboard.js and dashboard.css, rather than application.js and application.css. So I've made copies of the files and renamed them, but now I get the following error when it tries to parse the dashboard.js:

Uncaught ReferenceError: Splunk is not defined dashboard.js:14
(anonymous function)

I'm a bit stuck and some guidance would be greatly appreciated.

Try this one, it works on Splunk 6.0.

Note that you will need to remove the code you have in dashboard.js since that code only works on Splunk 5.0. You can leave it in application.js for Splunk 5.0 though.
