I use a slightly different technique...
Defined in database or global file:
$tblbgcolor1="FFFFFF";
$tblbgcolor2="FFFFCC";
Program Loop to create the table:
$altcolor=$tblbgcolor2;
while ($row = mysql_fetch_array($Query)) {
if ($altcolor==$tblbgcolor2)
$altcolor=$tblbgcolor1;
else
$altcolor=$tblbgcolor2;
echo "<TR bgcolor='#$altcolor'><TD>Text to
display on Row</TD></TR>";
}
(this loops through rows fetched from a mysql table, but can be
any kind of loop)
Best regards,
Randy
