Does the “AlternatingItemTemplate” work in windows explorer 9?

Question

The following code with alternating background I have shows up fine in Chrome and Firefox but not IE9: If IE9 does support it, what am I missing?

Here is the output in Chrome and in IE9 respectively. Notice the grayish background missing on IE9

Answer 1

Internet Explorer, or any other browser for that matter, has no knowledge of AlternatingItemTemplate . It's part of a server-side control. ASP.NET renders the AlternativeItemTemplate 's contents when it's an alternate row.

As far as your background color not working, I recommend using the Developer Tools and tracing the style to determine why it isn't visible.
