Re: Odd and even table rows

Not necessarily overkill in as that's pretty much what any such scheme is going to boil down to underneath; however it's certainly more verbose than it needs to be.

my $ctr = 0;
my $class;

while( $pointer = $sth->fetchrow_hashref ) {
  $class = ( ($ctr++) % 2 == 0 ) ? "even" : "odd";
  ## ...
}

Alternately there are JavaScript libraries which will go in and post-facto class-er-ize tables dynamically (which is nice if you're doing some Ajax fanciness and possibly reordering rows on the fly).

or a little less verbose and (imho :) ) even more readable: `my $odd; my $class; while( $pointer = $sth->fetchrow_hashref ) { $class = ($odd ^= 1) ? "odd" : "even"; ## ... }` [download] DWIM is Perl's answer to Gödel	[reply] [d/l]
