How to keep track of iterations through a for loop in my template?
Hello, I have a table in my template that will contain an x number of rows depanding on what I get back from the view. I want my table row background color to rotate between red and white. As of now, I don't know how to keep track of each iteration through my for loop to set the appropriate bgcolor. Any suggestions?

This is documented in the documentation for the "for" tag (which is what I presume you are using to iterate over the table rows). Have a look at the forloop.counter and forloop.counter0 variables you have access to in the template (see [1]). However, for this type of use-case, the cycle tag ([2]) is probably more what you need.

You're thinking too hard about the problem. :)

Search for the word "cycle":
{% for o in some_list %}
...
{% endfor %}
Good luck!

Another solution is changing the CSS class of the rows afterwards with a bit of JavaScript (I love jQuery for such). It's a bit dirty, but I often need it if I dynamically change my forms/tables with JS anyway. Greetlings from Lake Constance!
