colouring rows based on 'duplicate alternating groups'

mattbloke

Hi, say I have a table as below, how would I colour rows 1-3 a colour and then row 4 a different colour and then row 5-6 the same colour as the first set? All based on the value in the first column.

Or in other words I want alternating row colours, but by 'groups' of identical values in one column. I can't use code like 'If 1 THEN, If 2 THEN etc...' because there can be infinite values.

col1 col2 col3
1 2 3
1 7 7
1 3 3
2 9 0
3 1 1
3 9 2

Many thanks, Matt

You would need to use the fnDrawCallback callback function to loop over the rows shown in the table and add class information as appropriate. There isn't built in logic to provide that ability.
