While this doesn't really answer your question, you could also just use the __first__, __last__,__inner__ and __odd__ loop_context_var to alternate table row colors in a <TMPL_LOOP>. Sumpin' like:
<table> <TMPL_LOOP foo> <tr bgcolor="<TMPL_IF __odd__>#CCCCCC<TMPL_ELSE>#FFFFFF</TMPL_IF>"><td>blah!</td><td><TMPL_VAR bar></td></tr> </TMPL_LOOP> </table> It's (pretty much) in the docs. I guess I don't really "get" what you're looking for and how it would be useful to generalize -DJCP On Wed, 2002-10-09 at 12:55, Michael Raidel wrote: > Hi all, > > I like the clean design of HTML::Template very much..
