I quite appreciate, and agree with your points (and knowledge) but to the
original poster isn't this a lesson in semantic mark-up, a topic covered in
the most basic of beginning CSS books?
Come on lets face it, alternating row style...!

I would also add that the CSS class name should reflect the business need,
not the display attributes. For example, The rows aren't green, yellow and
red, they're normal, warning and critical. That way when you decide that
normal should be no-color instead of green the class of "Normal" still makes
sense where the class of "Green" doesn't.

Any help is appreciated.
In addition to the suggestion to update a CSS class variable on the <tr> tag
at runtime, it's generally a good idea to use an external .css file which
can be shared across multiple applications. So if you change your background
color in the .css file, the color is automatically changed in every
application that references the .css file. Some folks even implement user
selectable themes, where the .css file reference is determined at runtime,
and may vary from one user to the next.
