I suspect what you'll want to do is set up an 'oddrows'
class and an 'evenrows' class, a la
.oddrows {
background-color: blue;
}
.evenrows {
background-color: white;
}
then give the table a unique ID, a la
<table id="alternatingrows">
...
</table>
then write a little Javascript to
1) find the unique element with the ID "alternatingrows".
2) iterate over the rows in that element, alternately
labeling them 'even' or 'odd'.
Alistapart.com tackled this a while ago with Zebra Tables:

See if that does what you want.
