Hello everyone. I'm in the process of attemping to
translate some xml into a table in html. That in
itself is easy enough, but catch is I want to
alternate the row colors. So given a general XML
document like:
<row>
<column1>Column Data</column1>
<column2>Column Data</column2>
<column3>Column Data</column3>
</row>
<row>
<column1>Column Data</column1>
<column2>Column Data</column2>
<column3>Column Data</column3>
</row>
<row>
<column1>Column Data</column1>
<column2>Column Data</column2>
<column3>Column Data</column3>
</row>
I want end up with some html like:
<tr bgcolor='color1'>
<td>Column Data</td>
<td>Column Data</td>
<td>Column Data</td>
</tr>
<tr bgcolor='color2'>
<td>Column Data</td>
<td>Column Data</td>
<td>Column Data</td>
</tr>
<tr bgcolor='color1'>
<td>Column Data</td>
<td>Column Data</td>
<td>Column Data</td>
</tr>
I would normally just use modular division and divdie
the row number by 2. If the reault was zero, I'd use
the alternating color. I don't seem to be able to find
a mod operator in XLS, but I assume there is some
facility to let me do this.
Does any have any ideas?
_Kevin
