Stripe Table Rows DOM JS Function

Published in: JavaScript 

This function looks for tables in a web page, then loops through the rows and sets the backgroundColor for ever other row.This creates a striped table which is easier to read.

Plain TextExpand 
  1. function stripeTables() {
  2. 	if(!document.getElementsByTagName) return false;//basic old browser check
  3. 	var tables = document.getElementsByTagName("table");//grab the tables in the document
  4. 	for(i=0; i<table.length; i++) {//loop through the tables
  5. 		var odd = false;//creat an odd function for the table, set it to false
  6. 		var rows = tables[i].getElementsByTagName("tr");//grab the rows in the specific table
  7. 		for(j=0; j<rows.length; j++) {//loop through the rows in the specific table
  8. 			if(odd == true) {
  9. 				rows[j].style.backgroundColor = "#ffc";//if odd is true, set the bg color to this
  10. 				odd = false;//set odd to false
  11. 			} else {
  12. 				odd = true;//set odd to true, this is picked up by next iteration and styles the next row
  13. 			}
  14. 		}
  15. 	}
  16. }
