// Modified by Alyce Brady to add comments and rename the "alternate"
// function to "alternateRows".
// The alternateRows function defined in this file associates the "odd"
// and "even" class names with alternating rows in a given table.
// To use the alternateRows function, create an HTML table with an
// id. When the page loads, call the alternateRows function for that
// table. For example:
//
// …
//
// …
//
//
// …
// Associates the "odd" and "even" class names with alternating rows in
// the table with the specified id.
// @param id The id name/string for the table to modify
function alternateRows(id){
if(document.getElementsByTagName){
var table = document.getElementById(id);
var rows = table.getElementsByTagName("tr");
for(i = 0; i < rows.length; i++){
//manipulate rows
if(i % 2 == 0){
rows[i].className = "even";
}else{
rows[i].className = "odd";
}
}
}
}
