I should let Isaac explain, since he did all the hard work, but I'll try.
The first 2 hash marks (##) output the hash symbol (The first # escapes the second #,
which results in a single # being output)
The next two hash marks surround a Cold Fusion function, iif()
The iif() function is the "immediate if".
It evaluates a condition to true and false, and if true it outputs the first
string, if false it outputs the second string
iif(condition,truestring,falsestring) - so iif(fname eq "Jerry", "It's me!", "It's
not me")
The condition statement uses the mod function, which returns the left over (modulus)
or currentrow divided by 2
If currentrow is a multiple of 2 (2, 4, 6..), it returns a 0. If not it returns a
1.
The first and second strings use the DE function to "delay evaluation', or basically
just output the string exactly as is. The DFDFDF is a grey color.
Does this help?
And I will note for the record that the first line will be grey, the second white and
so on.

Could you please explain what the following statement does?
"###iif(currentrow mod 2, DE('DFDFDF'), DE('FFFFFF'))#"
