Alternating Row Colors?

[Peter W A Wood]

I'm not sure whether you were dreaming or not, but I couldn't find anything about alternate rows colours with htmlText or styledText.

Were you looking to avoid having to do something like this?

	put the height of field "Field" into tFieldHeight
   	put the effective textHeight of field "Field" into tTextHeight
  	put tFieldHeight into tNumOfLines
   	divide tNumOfLines by tTextHeight
   	put the round of tNumOfLines into tNumOfLines
   	put tNumOfLines into field "Field"
   	repeat with tLine = 1 to tNumOfLines
      		put tLine mod 2 into tOdd
      		if tOdd = 1 then
         		put "Red" into tBackGrdCol
      		else
         		put "Blue" into tBackGrdCol
      		end if
      	set the backgroundColor of line tLine of field "Field" to tBackGrdCol
   	end repeat

Regards

Peter
