There is a cool tool in Coldfusion called MOD
This basically calculates the remainder of the row number
when divided.
I interpreted its use to something like this, which has
worked for me.
<cfoutput query="qry_requestedlist" maxrows="30"
startrow="1">
<cfset EvenRow=#CurrentRow# +1>
<cfif CurrentRow Mod 2 IS 1>
<tr>
<th class="grey" CurrentRow#</th>
<cfelse>
<th class="white">#CurrentRow#</th>
<tr>
</cfif>
</cfoutput>
I doubt this is precisely what you want but this is the sort
of thing.
