The tabular view actually doesn't work with coders. You'd need to use
the rowStyler trick or a row template to color the rows yourself.
The presidents example uses the row template trick:
http://simile.mit.edu/exhibit/examples/presidents/presidents-2.html
Look in the HTML code where it says
ex:background-style-content="if(exists(.death), '#ccc', 'white')"
The rowStyler support is documented here
http://simile.mit.edu/wiki/Exhibit/2.0/Tabular_View
You'd need something like this in the row styler function to get the
last_seen field
var lastSeen = database.getObject(item, 'last_seen'); // this is a
string
