Brian,

I haven't really worked much with setting up zebra striping yet with 
Expresso, although if you look at the various mockups Sandra has made for 
different Jcorporate products, you can bet it will be a feature to be added 
soon. ;)

Ideally we'd want to modify the record iterators so that you can query 
whether or not you're on an even or odd record.  And then emit a different 
CSS style class for each row.

At least that's how I'd be looking to go about it first.

HTH!
