What is the best way to style alternating rows in a table?

Question

Obviously, the actual style of the odd/even rows will be done via a CSS class, but what is the best way to \"attach\" the class to the rows? Is is better to put it in the ma

Answer 1

What you're trying to accomplished can even be done with CSS3:

tr:nth-child(odd) { background: #FFF; }
tr:nth-child(even) { background: #AAA; }

This is also listed in the w3's css3 selectors spec. If you're looking for compatibility, adding the class server-side or through javascript would be a far better solution.
