Bèr Kessels Previous comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ June 15, 2005 - 14:58 : Thox Attachment: http://drupal.org/files/issues/zebra-classnames.patch (1.41 KB) The CSS class names chosen for table rows are badly chosen: "light" and "dark". Since CSS could be used to make the "dark" rows light and the "light" rows dark, the names are wrong. The attached patch changes "light" and "dark" to "odd" and "even". In the future, all class names should describe /why/ an element is styled differently, not /how/ it is to be styled. e.g. "Red" is a bad class name, "important" is far better.
