Re: [xsl] using position to change row colors

["David B. Bitton" <david@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Amy,
	Much easier to do.  Just put this in the TR

	<tr class="cell{position() mod 2}>

The output will be either 'class="cell1"' or 'class="cell0"'.  Now, just add those classes to
your CSS style sheet, and you'll be on your way.
