Is there a way to alternate the colour of the table background displayed for data from a table. here is my body


=======<table>
<tr>
<th COL WIDTH='80px'>Date (YYYY-MM-DD)</th>
<th COL WIDTH='80px'>Time</th>
<th COL WIDTH='80px'>Age</th>
<th COL WIDTH='80px'>Sport</th>
<th COL WIDTH='80px'>Team</th>
<th COL WIDTH='80px'>Score</th>
<th COL WIDTH='80px'>Team</th>
<th COL WIDTH='80px'>Score</th>
{new_record}
</tr>
=========

and finally my body
---------------------------------
<tr>
<td>{matchdate}{edit_record}</td>
<td>{matchtime}{edit_record}</td>
<td>{age_group}{edit_record}</td>
<td>{sport}{edit_record}</td>
<td>Maynooth{edit_record}</td>
<td>{maynooth_score}{edit_record}</td>
<td>{opponent}{edit_record}</td>
<td>{opponent_score}{edit_record}</td>
</tr>
-------------------


I usuallu set a variable and use a counter to determine every second row. Can't see that option here.

Hi decbuck,

Groping in the dark a bit here, there is a variable $counter that seems to count the rows. You could try and see if you could use a little php to create a binary value from it and add that to a class name.

you don't need to add the {edit_record} to every table cell too, only 1 cell per table row!

Yeah I noticed that with the edit. Thanks,

Any examples of the php script

Hi, try this in the body:
<?php $k = 0; $k = 1 - $k; ?>
