This thread came up before, and tedd's solution was the least complex,
as far as I could tell. I shamelessly stole his code and regularly use
it in my own projects. ;-}

Or if one choose to use Smarty template.
<tr bgcolor="{cycle values="#eeeeee,#d0d0d0"}">

Yeah, like that keeps presentation separate from data while making
things simpler, right? I don't think so.

Embedding styling attributes in html is simply not following "best practices".

For example, if you have 100 pages of the above embedded code and the
client says "Hey, let's change the color of that table" -- then you
are going to have to change 100 pages of code whereas if you followed
"best practices" then you would change only one rule in css.

I agree. Inline styles are useful in a few fringe cases, but if you can avoid them then it's best practice to do so.

Thanks,

Ash:

The only "fringe" cases I can think of are those that could be solved by using a <span> tag.

Do you have any examples otherwise?

Cheers,

tedd
