Greenbar Paper and Database Results

All I need to do is alternate the color of the backround from white to gray. I really have no idea how to adjust the repeat region so that it can do this, instead I end up showing double records. I know what I'm doing wrong, I just don't know what is right.

Thanks
Troy

For talking purposes, let's assume that you're using a table. Pseudocode:

<&script
ticker = -1
&>
<table>
<tr><th>headers go here</th></tr>

<&script
ticker = -ticker
&>
<tr<&script if (ticker < 0) print " class='greyrow'" &>>
<td><&script print dataFromDatabase &></td></tr>

</table>

Substitute with your favorite serverside scripting language.

what language are you in?

I believe there is an extension to do this, but you can also do it with some
quick and easy hand coding.

Basically you can just setup a counting variable and see if it's divisible
by two, if it is, then you need to change the color to your secondary color.
If it's not, then you write your primary color.

HTH,
