You have get_events.recordcount that should probably be get_events.currentrow
Try... <cfif currentrow mod 2 is 0> <cfset bgclr = "##ccc" /> <cfelse> <cfset bgclr = "##eee" /> </cfif> <td style="padding-top: 1px; padding-bottom: 2px; width: 35px; border-left: 1px solid ##aaa; border-bottom: 1px solid ##aaa; background: ###bgclr#; color: black; font-size: 11px; font-weight: normal; text-align: center;">#dateformat(event_date, "ddd")#</td> ..:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.

Hi, all. Assuming all other related issues with this code are correct, why wouldn't this first cell alternate colors coded like this? The background color attribute seems to be ignored. <cfif get_events.recordcount mod 2> <td style="padding-top: 1px; padding-bottom: 2px; width: 35px; border-left: 1px solid ##aaa; border-bottom: 1px solid ##aaa; background: ##ccc; color: black; font-size: 11px; font-weight: normal; text-align: center;">#dateformat(get_events.event_date, "ddd")#</td> <cfelse> <td style="padding-top: 1px; padding-bottom: 2px; width: 35px; border-left: 1px solid ##aaa; border-bottom: 1px solid ##aaa; background: ##eee; color: black; font-size: 11px; font-weight: normal; text-align: center;">#dateformat(get_events.event_date, "ddd")#</td> </cfif> ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Enterprise web applications, build robust, secure scalable apps today - Try it now ColdFusion Today ColdFusion 8 beta - Build next generation apps Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Talk/message.cfm/messageid:289611 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=89.70.4
