You could also do it like this:

 <tr
  <CFIF latestlinks.currentrow MOD 2 is 1>
   bgcolor="##DFDFDF"
  <CFELSE>
   bgcolor="##FFFFFF"
  </CFIF>>
 
which I think is slightly faster in CF5 or earlier.

Regarding DE, or Delay Evaluation, this is straight from CF5 docs:

"DE prevents evaluation of a string as an expression when it is passed as an argument 
to IIf or Evaluate."

  actually, i'd appreciate an explanation as well.  I understand the 
  IIF()...but i never really understood DE()...what exactly it does or why it 
  makes the world a better place :) 

  thx.
