instead of just including one row in your loop, include two setting different colors for each. i don't know php, so i don't know the exact code, but the concept is the same as with other languages.

not sure how to do that. but i am tryin. any input on the "if" in a "while" statement?

Add this line at the start of your loop:

$class = "altRow";

<-- START LOOP -->

if ($class == "altRow") {
$class = "altRow2";
} else {
$class = "altRow";
}

<-- END LOOP -->

Obviously add the style call ('altRow' or 'altRow2') to either your row or cell
