Kevin, 

Here is how I have done alternating row colours

Tim :)

<xsl:template match="orders">
	<xsl:choose>
		<xsl:when test="position() mod 2 = 0">
			<tr class="odd">
			<xsl:call-template name="showdata" />
			</tr>
		</xsl:when>
		<xsl:otherwise>
			<tr class="even">
			<xsl:call-template name="showdata" />
			</tr>
		</xsl:otherwise>
	</xsl:choose>
</xsl:template>
