odd/even styles for rows

[Nick Nadgauda]

Hi,

I'm trying to get different styles for odd and even rows in an
ObjectListTable, but can't figure out how. In the Renderer.render( )
method, there's no way I can see to determine the row number from the
TableBodyGroup. If I try and apply the shading to the ObjectListTable
directly (outside the renderer), there's no way to get a handle to
underlying TableRow objects.

Am I looking at this the right way? Do you have any suggestions?

Thanks,

ObjectListTable doesn't directly support this because table rows can
change without the renderer being called.

eg: Imagine a zebra table for the objects [ A, B, C, D, E ] and the
rows for B and D are darker. if you call olt.getObjects().remove(C)
then the dark rows for B and D will be next to each other.

I suggest you use a thin border between each table row, like gmail
does, instead of different background colors. Maybe in some browsers
you could use advanced CSS for odd/event elements and have that work
correctly.

That said the Renderer can find the row number by calling
olt.getObjects().indexOf(foo).
