Anyway you should get rid of echoing everything from php... It really gets you mad when you want to change things... while($row = mysql_fetch_array($result)) {

Andrei: Well don't -- use css instead: First, define a background-color in a css class, like so: .myRow0 { background-color: yellow; } .myRow1 { background-color: red; } Then in your php, assign: $rowColor = 'myRow0'; // actually this is column color and not row color

    ?>

<TR>

    <TD class="<?=$rowColor?>">ID#, <?=$row[0]?></td>
    <td class="<?=$rowColor?>">TicklerName, <?=$row[1]?></td>
    etc...

</tr> <?php Also, I wouldn't use short tags. Plus, to alternate color *rows* in a table, just use:

    <tr class="myRow<?php echo($i++ & 1 );?>">
      <td whatever...

</tr> See it work here: http://www.webbytedd.com/b/color-rows/ It works better than anything I've read thus far. Cheers, tedd -- ------- http://sperling.com http://ancientstones.com http://earthstones.com
