Add this to your default.css file... Or to the page... <style> TR.dataRow1 { background-color: #e8f5f7; } /* light */ TR.dataRow2 { background-color: #dce8ea; } /* dark */ </style> Then just do this: <TR class=<?php echo ($r = !$r) ? "dataRow1" : "dataRow2"; ?> > Forget all that $i++ and (mod) % stuff... And NEVER hardcode the colors in the page. Use CSS ! Adjust to use a DIV as needed. -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
