I've seen similiar posts, but I want to alternate like every fifth row in a table of results from a database. I do not need the row to have a specific result, more so someone will not check the wrong section. Or even better, highlight a row once a person checks a checkbox. Although I think this will need a refresh of the page.

I don't know how, but there must be a way to highlight a row when a checkbox is checked without refreshing the page. That's how it is displayed in hotmail. You check a box to delete an email, and the whole table row changes colour(no refreshes).

the effect at Hotmail is achieved through a mix of CSS and JS file dependence. I downloaded the files and recreated a dummy "inbox" page with the checkbox you mentioned. I have put them into a .rar and sent them to the e-mail address listed in schase's profile.
simply extract (with folder structure) to your desktop and define a site from the resulting folder!

I hope this helps you in figuring out how this works. If I had more time I would clean the JS and CSS files to get rid of all the extra junk, but hey.....you gotta work a little!

If you just want to make every fifth row a differsent colour then:

&lt;tr &lt;% If Repeat1__numRows Mod 5 Then %&gt;bgcolor="#CCCCCC"&lt;% End If %&gt;bgcolor="#FF9900"&gt;

Will make every fifth row #FF9900

I'm only a relative newbie to Ultradev and hard coding ASP but found the Ultradeviant Alternate Row Color extension a real gem. Search at Macromedia's extension resource on Ultradeviant to nab it.
It uses the 'Mod 2' syntax so I'm sure once you've added it to your page, a small alteration to 'Mod 5' as oeastwick mentioned should get you on your way.

Hope this helps

Hey Guys,

Wanted to give a brief update. I have not forgotten about the many suggestions here.

In fact I want to combine some together into one. I will put it up at that point. Just have not had the time to sit down with it yet.......babysitting employees <img src=../images/dmxzone/forum/icon_smile_dissapprove.gif border=0 align=middle>
