Alternative table colours

Hello all not been here for a while maybe im getting better or continuing to code badly who knows :P

anyways what id like to do is in my "do while" loop i want to create different background colours so its easier to read with large tables.

I know the code should be something like

If variaiable isnot true then

bgcolour = blue

Else

bg colour = red

end if

i am, however, not quite sure ont he correct syntax for it?

any advice appreciated

close, but your cigar is quite small. meaning, nice but it's limited to two colors only. if you'll ever want more colors, consider such code:

Code:

  <%
  bgCounter=0
  colorsCount=2
  Do Until something happens
  %>
  class =  "alt<%=(bgCounter Mod colorsCount)+1%>"
  <%
     bgCounter=bgCounter+1
  Loop
  %>

all you have to do is define how many colors you have, have proper "alt1", "alt2",... classes and increment counter in each iteration of the loop. the Mod operator is actually the Modulo function - remember, from highschool?
