If you want it to know what style/class to draw next you need a better
cycle() method, one that tracks it's own state across multiple
requests. I have this alt method in one of my Rails apps:
def alt( s='', s2=' class="alt-row"' )
session[:alt] ||= '1'
session[:alt] = session[:alt] == '1' ? '2' : '1'
session[:alt] == '1' ? s2 : s
end
Usage is just: <tr<%= alt %>
But using jQuery is just as easy:
$("tr:nth-child(odd)").addClass("odd");
