I'm guessing what is happening is the <dtml-in ebird> is creating a list, then the <dtml-if "end_date > ZopeTime()...> bit is filtering out some of your entries, causing evens and odds to be next to each other. While I haven't done this, you may be able to build your list based off of your <dtml-if> criteria and store it in another, then display based on the new list using a fresh <dtml-in> statement. Here's an example from: http://www.zope.org/Members/lstaffor/Breadcrumbs. It filters out stuff that the user isn't authorized to see, puts that into a list (rev), then iterates over the list. <!-- start Breadcrumbs --> <dtml-call "REQUEST.set('rev', [])"> <dtml-in PARENTS skip_unauthorized> <dtml-let item=sequence-item> <dtml-call "rev.insert(0, item)"> </dtml-let> </dtml-in> <dtml-in rev> <dtml-with sequence-item> <a href="<dtml-var absolute_url>"> <dtml-if "hasProperty('nickname')"><dtml-var nickname><dtml-else><dtml-var title_or_id></dtml-if></a> </dtml-with> <dtml-unless sequence-end> >  </dtml-unless> </dtml-in> <!-- end Breadcrumbs --> Scott -----Original Message----- From: Todd Loomis [mailto:tloomis@dmso.mil] Sent: Monday, October 01, 2001 12:53 PM To: zope@zope.org Subject: [Zope] Different row colors All: I'm trying to create two different background colors for my rows. Here is what I'm currently using: <dtml-var standard_html_header> <h2>News Briefs</h2> <table cellpadding="5" cellspacing="0" border="0" width="100%"> <dtml-with "ebird"> <dtml-in "objectValues('Ebird')" sort=display_order> <dtml-if expr="end_date > ZopeTime() and start_date <= ZopeTime()"> <dtml-if sequence-even> <tr> <td class="whitebody"><a href="ebird/<dtml-var id>"><dtml-var title></a></td> </tr> <dtml-else> <tr> <td class="graybody"><a href="ebird/<dtml-var id>"><dtml-var title></a></td> </tr> </dtml-if> </dtml-if> </dtml-in> </dtml-with> </table> <dtml-var standard_html_footer> But this seems to group some of the backgrounds together when I want to have every other row a different color (white, gray). Can this be done another way?
