murray -> my tr tag does have element="tr" within it. the problem was that i have a lot of css formatting within my code, and i had a class element within my table tag which was overriding the odd and even element tags. and once i remove that class statement, it works fine. but again thanks for your help. jesse -> i agree a cleaner implementation is always preferred. i am using the evenodd bean within contribtable but couldnt get it to work within the foreach component. if i find a way of implementing it, then it would be great, but for the timebeing the result is still the same.
thanks to all again. tapestry rocks. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
