What does <tr class="alt"> mean when creating an HTML table


Go to solution Solved by Barand,

alt is the name of the CSS class definition. Check your CSS stylesheet to see what styles are applied for that class.

 

This is a very simple HTML table. There is no CSS stylesheet.

<table cell spacing = "0" border = "5" style = "width: 20 em; border: 1px solid #567;">
<tr>
<th>Sequence #</th>
<th>Value</th>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>F<sub>0</sub></td>
<td>0</td>
</tr>
<tr class = "alt">
<td>F<sub>1</sub></td>
<td>1</td>
</tr>
</table>

you need to have defined the "alt" class in the styles eg

<html>
<head>
<style type="text/css">
    table {
        border-collapse: collapse;
    }
    tr {
        background-color: #CCCCCC;
    }
    tr.alt {
        background-color: #C0FFC0;
    }
</style>
</head>
<body>
    <table border="1" cellpadding="4" cellspacing="0">
    <?php
        $c = 'A';
        for ($row=0; $row<6; $row++) {
            $cls = $row%2 ? '' : "class='alt'";
            echo "<tr $cls>";
            for ($col=0; $col<3; $col++, $c++) {
                echo "<td>$c</td>";
            }
            echo "</tr>\n";
        }
    ?>
    </table>
</body>
</html>
