Database Results

[pepps]

Hi

I have created a results page so that when a users types something in my
search field on the web the results page shows a list of products. But how can
i have it so that one record row is a different colour to the next record row.

thanks in advance

You mean you want alternating row colors? The general theory,
regardless of server model, looks something like this in pseudocode:

<tr<# if (rowNumber modulo 2) then #> class="colorclass"<# endif #>>

Specifically: you probably have some kind of rownumber counter. When you
do a modulo division by 2, you alternately get 0 (logical False in most
systems) and something else (logical True in most systems). On odd-
numbered rows, the condition is met, and the class attribute is added.
