I use Oracle sqlplus "set markup html on" to quickly convert query output into HTML report -
It's very simlpe way to publish database report online.
I'm missing however one thing - alternating colors for every other row, This is especially helpful while viewing wide reports.
is there any way to embed HTML color for every row, like make it dependent on mod(rownum/2) - even/odd row number ?
thank you !
I don't think there is, using SET MARKUP HTML ON. You would have to write your own markup something like:
select '<tr style="color:'
|| CASE mod(rownum,2) WHEN 0 THEN 'red' ELSE 'green' END
|| '"><td>' || ename || '</td></tr>' data
from
( select ename from emp order by ename );
Then add the surrounding table tags using PROMPTs or whatever.
There is a great solution with CSS 3 (by expert web developer Leon Zinger). Before setting markup html on, inside of the head tag, print this:
prompt <style>tr:nth-child(2n) { background-color: #CCE6FF ;} tr:nth-child(2n+1) { background-color: LightGray;}</style>
(obviously the colors can be customized to meet your needs)
Here's another syntax to do alternation:
.row:nth-child(even) {
background: #dde;
}
.row:nth-child(odd) {
background: white;
}
