To bad it's IE only. I've found Tigra tables (see:

{Link} ) a while ago. Since the basic version is free I use it a lot. It allow you to decorate (including mouseover) an existing table at any time. It also would qualify for "code is tucked away in a file you never see". However you need to insert some JS into your design.

You could use a modified version of this code here to get it working on multiple browsers. I would just write a JS function to change the row color and then to reset it. Even better just create a class and assign and un-assign the class.

I'm not a fan of one document.write() per row either. Imagine a browser with no JS. They see no view! At least with behaviours the fail "gracefully".

I know, back in R5 this was cool stuff. And then the brilliant irony, that something completely useless in the client (@DocNumber) could finally be used programmatically in the browser, thanks to client-side code (one more thing probably nobody had ever thought of at Iris, when designing the product). But when I look at one document.write() per row nowadays, it makes me shiver.

You actually can make tables with alternating row colors using your own HTML, even in R5. Just set your view contents to HTML, then make the first column like so:

You can also do mouseover row highlights:
