Question

Does anyone know how to have different colours on alternate rows in a table

Answer 1

You can use jquery to add classes to the rows like this:

<script type="text/javascript">
    $(document).ready(function () {
        $("table.evenodd tr:not([th]):odd").addClass("odd");
        $("table.evenodd tr:not([th]):even").addClass("even");
     });
</script>

And then use CSS to style:

    .even {background-color: #e6e6e6;}
    .odd {background-color: #ffffff;}
