Displaying every odd row a different color

v20010125232950.zip

Summary To display the background color of every odd row in a table in a different color you need to use the XPath position() function. This achieved using the mod operator.

To our <td> element we are going to add the bgcolor element to be silver if the mod operator returns false (0), which is achieved in the following code:
<td>
<xsl:if test=position() mod 2>
<xsl:attribute name=bgcolor>silver</xsl:attribute>
</xsl:if>

The HTML output for this transformation looks as follows:

Today's Headlines

Rescued penguins swim home

Bug mops up sewage

In the land of the colour-blind
