I have a RowTag that does this, it generates <tr> elements and you can
specify either oddColor/evenColor attributes to generate bgcolor= attributes
or oddStyle/evenStyle parameters to generate class= attributes for CSS.
So the jsp looks like this:
<table>
<logic:iterate id=".." name=".." property="..">
<util:row oddColor="#C0C0C0" evenColor="#FF0000">
<td>.....</td>
<td>.....</td>
</util:row>
</logic:iterate>
</table>
You can either specify both odd and even or just one of them.
I'll send it if you're interested.
