Alternate table row color using CSS?

Answer 1

There is a fairly easy way to do this in PHP, if I understand your query, I assume that you code in PHP and you are using CSS and javascript to enhance the output.

The dynamic output from the database will carry a for loop to iterate through results which are then loaded into the table. Just add a function call to the like this:

echo "";  //this calls the function based on the iteration of the for loop.

then add the function to the page or library file:

function getbgc($trcount)
{

$blue="\"background-color: #EEFAF6;\"";
$green="\"background-color: #D4F7EB;\"";
$odd=$trcount%2;
    if($odd==1){return $blue;}
    else{return $green;}    

}

Now this will alternate dynamically between colors at each newly generated table row.

It's a lot easier than messing about with CSS that doesn't work on all browsers.

Hope this helps.
