SUMMARY

VBScript can be added to a page created by the Database Results Wizard to alternate the row colors when displaying data.

In HTML View add the five lines below the <body> tag.

<% strOddColor = "bgcolor='#FFFFFF'" strEvenColor = "bgcolor='#C0C0C0'" intLineNum = 0 %>

Change the bgcolor values to suite your needs.

Edit the <tr> so it looks like the following.

Save the page and test it in the browser.
