Answer 1

$("tr").click(function(){

 $('tr').removeClass("otherstyle");
 $(this).toggleClass("otherstyle");

}

or

$("tr").click(function(){     

 $(this).toggleClass("otherstyle").siblings().removeClass("otherstyle");

}

Answer 2

$("table.spreadsheet tr").click(function(){
    $("table.spreadsheet tr").removeClass("otherstyle");
    $(this).toggleClass("otherstyle");
});

See a working demo

For sake of performance, I'd change rahul's answer to

$("table.spreadsheet tr").click(function(){
    $("table.spreadsheet tr").removeClass("otherstyle");
    $(this).addClass("otherstyle"); // avoid checking if it has the class "otherstyle"
                                      // because it does not
});

Not that'd be a real kill, but hey, shouldn't we always write fast/optimized code?
