table color?

Monie · #1 Oct 7th, 2004, 03:33

I WAS WONDERING HOW TO MAKE MY TABLE(ROW) COLOR TO BE SAME LIKE WEBFORUMZ DOES?

WHAT I HAVE IN MY ASP PAGE RIGHT NOW IS JUST ONE COLOR WHEN I TRIED TO DISPLAY ALL MY DATA IN THE DATABASE USING "REPEAT REGION".

WHAT I WANT TO DO IS TO DISPLAY FIRST ROW AS BLUE COLOR, AND THE NEXT ROW WILL BE WHITE COLOR, THE THIRD WILL BE BLUE AGAIN...AND SO ON...

JUST WONDERING...

just use a variable inside the loop that ceates each row;

Code: Select all

Dim rowcolor : rowcolor = "blue" 'set this as the second row color
for iLoop = 0 to x
    if rowcolor = "white" then
        rowcolor = "blue"
    else
       rowcolor = "white"
    end if
    response.write "<tr background="<% rowcolor %>"><td>[row contents]</td></tr>"
next

Or you could use:-

Code: Select all

Dim rowcolor : rowcolor = "blue" 'set this as the second row color
for iLoop = 0 to x
    rowcolor = "white"
    if iLoop MOD 2 = 1 then rowcolor="blue"
    response.write "<tr background="<% rowcolor %>"><td>[row contents]</td></tr>"
next

Same thing.... just shorter.

or maybe...

Code: Select all

Class Zebras
 Private RowCount

 Public Property Get Colour()
  If (RowCount MOD 2)=0 Then Colour= "black" Else Colour= "white"
  RowCount = RowCount + 1
 End Property
End Class

Dim MyRows = New Zebras
Do While Not rs.EOF
  Response.Write "<tr style='background-color:" & MyRows.Colour & "'>stuff</tr>" & vbCRLf
Loop

just thought I'd join the party...

Thats actually what I do Spinal!

I'll point out though, that unless you are using this on a site-wide level, it's not really worth it.

don;t u just love vb script?

D3mon · #7 Oct 7th, 2004, 12:58

rumour is that CSS3 will support this kind of thing with a 'count' function

Well guys...I am a bit confuse here

Actually my looping method that i used for my ROW Table seems different from the method that you guys used

Acually, this is the code that the software automatically coded for me(macromedia ultradev),
I have just to click, click and click...

They have all this basic function built in...
I have learn lots of them especially modifying existing code from WEBFORUMZ

I have a hard time to modify the code that you guys gave me...
This is the code that i used. It have 1 row and 3 column..(initially)

Can you guys show me where should I add the code for the row looping color?

This is my LOOPING method!

Code: Select all

<% 
   While ((Repeat2__numRows <> 0) AND (NOT allComment.EOF))
%>
    
<tr> 
  <td class=bodytext width="18%" height="50" valign="top" bordercolorlight="#000000" bordercolordark="#000000" bgcolor="#FFFFFF">
    	<font face="Verdana" style="font-size: 8pt" color="#004685"><%=(allComment.Fields.Item("cName").Value)%></font>

        <font face="Verdana" style="font-size: 8pt"><%=(allComment.Fields.Item("cDate").Value)%></font>

  </td>
  <td class=bodytext width="73%" height="50" valign="top" bordercolorlight="#000000" bordercolordark="#000000" bgcolor="#FFFFFF">
      	<font face="Verdana" style="font-size: 8pt"><%=(allComment.Fields.Item("cComment").Value)%></font>
  </td>
  <td width="9%" height="50" bordercolorlight="#000000" bordercolordark="#000000" bgcolor="#FFFFFF"> 
        <p align="center"><font face="Verdana" style="font-size: 8pt">Delete</font>
  </td>
</tr>

<% 
   Repeat2__index=Repeat2__index+1
   Repeat2__numRows=Repeat2__numRows-1
   allComment.MoveNext()
   Wend
%>

The looping starts with WHILE and ends with WEND.

Monie · #15 Oct 10th, 2004, 03:02

Well guys...
I tried to put the variable inside my looping code but it cannot work.
Should i write the Response.write before my <tr>??

Can anybody help me or show me how to modify my code please

Guide me perhaps...I really need this code to work on my page!
Rob, Spinal...?Help me please

Thanx Guys

spinal007 · #16 Oct 10th, 2004, 15:43

the easy way:

Code: Select all

<% 
  RowCount = 0
   While ((Repeat2__numRows <> 0) AND (NOT allComment.EOF))
    If (RowCount Mod 2)=0 Then RowColour = "#DEDEDE" Else RowColour = "#CDCDCD" 
    RowCount = RowCount + 1
%>
    
<tr style="background-color:<%=RowColour%>"> 
  <td class=bodytext width="18%" height="50" valign="top" bordercolorlight="#000000" bordercolordark="#000000" bgcolor="#FFFFFF">
        <font face="Verdana" style="font-size: 8pt" color="#004685"><%=(allComment.Fields.Item("cName").Value)%></font>

        <font face="Verdana" style="font-size: 8pt"><%=(allComment.Fields.Item("cDate").Value)%></font>

  </td>
  <td class=bodytext width="73%" height="50" valign="top" bordercolorlight="#000000" bordercolordark="#000000" bgcolor="#FFFFFF">
          <font face="Verdana" style="font-size: 8pt"><%=(allComment.Fields.Item("cComment").Value)%></font>
  </td>
  <td width="9%" height="50" bordercolorlight="#000000" bordercolordark="#000000" bgcolor="#FFFFFF"> 
        <p align="center"><font face="Verdana" style="font-size: 8pt">Delete</font>
  </td>
</tr>

<% 
   Repeat2__index=Repeat2__index+1
   Repeat2__numRows=Repeat2__numRows-1
   allComment.MoveNext()
   Wend
%>
