    <h2>Pure CSS Answer (CSS3)</h2> <p>There are some careful considerations to take into account (see below), but <a href="http://jsfiddle.net/yjkLT/140/" rel="nofollow">there does appear to be a way to do this in pure css</a> (note that fiddle uses the fake <code>div</code> table per this post, but it could be done with real html tables) using a <code>linear-gradient</code> with color stops (technique found <a href="http://lea.verou.me/2010/12/checkered-stripes-other-background-patterns-with-css3-gradients/" rel="nofollow">here</a>) on the <code>table</code> background. The key to make it flexible with <code>font-size</code> changes (or zooming) is to set the height portion of the <code>background-size</code> to twice the <code>line-height</code> set for the rows.</p> <p><strong>Considerations:</strong></p> <ol> <li><code>line-height</code> and <code>font-size</code> for <code>row</code> should be explicitly set with <code>em</code> units (except see note #5 below).</li> <li>If <code>padding</code> is set on the <code>table</code> (not recommended) then some type of adjustment to either <code>background-position</code> or <code>background-clip</code> will likely need to be done to accommodate the padding.</li> <li>If top or bottom <code>padding</code> or <code>margin</code> is set on the <code>row</code> then it should be in <code>em</code> units and added to the <code>line-height</code> value before calculating the doubled <code>linear-gradient</code> height.</li> <li>This technique will change color of background <strong><em>within a row</em></strong> if that row has multiple lines in it (<a href="http://jsfiddle.net/yjkLT/140/" rel="nofollow">see <strong>the last table</strong> in my example fiddle</a>).</li> <li>If some other fixed height element were in the rows (images set to 20px high), then the <code>row</code> height and <code>linear-gradient</code> height could be set based off pixel values.</li> </ol> <p>I have not taken the time to play around with #2 and #3 above to figure out for sure the exact adjustments needed, but theoretically it should be possible to accommodate those things if necessary.</p>

    2. CO@BoltClock--yes, too much time on it for sure. I thought I had an `nth-child` solution until I tested it with mixed types of hides in http://jsfiddle.net/yjkLT/67/ (note all the tables were good until the last two).

    3. COYeah, you won't get very far with `:nth-child()` once you start mixing them up, because it's just not designed to handle that kind of dynamism (although with `:nth-match()` in CSS4 it may be as easy as `.row:nth-match(2n of :not(.hide))` and `.row:nth-match(2n+1 of :not(.hide))`). Meanwhile with CSS3, it turns out that linear gradients with hard color stops *are* great for striped patterns as long as legacy support isn't paramount, so you have my vote :)

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
