j> if you only need to support ie, then using a css expression would do the trick.  something like this (beware of wrap):

j> .data tbody td {
j>   background-color: expression((this.parentElement.rowIndex % 2 == 0) ? 'buttonface' : 'window');
j>   color: expression((this.parentElement.rowIndex % 2 == 0) ? 'buttontext' : 'windowtext');
j> }

That would have been my suggestion. However, I would guess that is a
way to do the same thing using the DOM, although I am not a DOM expert
so I couldn't tell you how. You might want to check up on accessing
elements using the array ([]) indexing, that way you can use similar
mod zero tricks to switch colors.
