Alternating table colours in CSS

[AKalair]

Hello,

How can I use CSS to have alternating colours for the background of a table. For instance the first row is black, the next white and so on.

 

 

Thank You

.black
{
  background-color:black;
}

.white
{
  background-color:white;
}

<tr class='black'>
// stuff in row
</tr>
<tr class='white'>
// stuff in row
</tr>
<tr class='black'>
// stuff in row
</tr>
etc.

CSS3 method:

 

tr:nth-child(odd)		{ background-color:#eee; }
tr:nth-child(even)		{ background-color:#fff; }
