Let's start with an ordinary html table. Whether the table contains head/foot elements doesn't matter in this case:
| 0 - some txt |
| 1 - some txt |
| | 2 - some txt |
| | 3 - some txt |
| | 4 - some txt |
|
Now, we need to check that the browser is fairly new and has the necessary JavaScript capabilities (i.e. W3C DOM support). The following line performs this check, disqualifying Netscape 4 and others of that generation. Such browsers will make no attempt to color the table.
if(document.getElementById)
Also note that common to all these examples is this code:
var table = document.getElementById(id);
var rows = table.getElementsByTagName("tr");
for(i = 0; i < rows.length; i++){
//manipulate rows
...
