  Using loop.count instead of loop.index makes that code a little simpler (loop.count is always loop.index + 1).

  [% FOREACH object = domain.raObject %] <tr [% IF not (loop.count % 3) %]bgcolor="#EEEEEE"[% END %]>

  Also, I'd tend to do something like this with classes and stylesheets as it makes it easier to change in the future.

  [% FOREACH object = domain.raObject %] <tr class="row_style_[% loop.count % 3 %]">

  You can then define three (or less) styles called "row_style_0", "row_style_1

    I prefer to do that sort of fiddling in JavaScript, all though it's all much of a muchness. There's a good article [alistapart.com] on how to do stripey tables. Again, I prefer class names to the technique described, but it's a small change.

      Why would you want to include yet another js script when you can do the same thing in TT in a few lines of Perl? That is just crazy.

      Then again I am retentive about controlling my code as much as possible. :-)
