How to alternate HTML table row colors using JSP?

tr.odd {background-color: #EEDDEE}
tr.even {background-color: #EEEEDD}

<c:forEach items="${element}" var="myCollection">
  <tr>
    <td><c:out value="${element.field}"/></td>
    ...
  </tr>
</c:forEach>

<tr class="odd or even depending on the row">

<c:forEach items="${element}" var="myCollection" varStatus="loopStatus">
  <tr class="${loopStatus.index % 2 == 0 ? 'odd' : 'even'}">
    ...
  </tr>
</c:forEach>

counter = 0
foreach (elements)
    counter = counter + 1
    output: <tr class="row{counter % 2}">...</tr>

String oddEven="";
<c:forEach items="${element}" var="myCollection">
    oddEven = (oddEven == "even") ? "odd" : "even";
    <tr class='"'+oddEven+'"'>
        <td><c:out value="${element.field}"/></td>
        ...
    </tr>
</c:forEach>

tr.odd td {}
tr.even td {}

tr td {background-color: #EEDDEE}

tr.odd td {background-color: #EEEEDD}

table tr:nth-child(odd) { background-color: #ccc; }
