How do I cycle an odd/even class as it loops over the items?

Question

Using the jquery-tmpl, I want to stripe presentation of the rows by adding a class to every second one, so from data ['Cat','Dog','Horse','Noddy'] it generates: ```

Cat

Dog

Horse

Noddy

``` The solutions suggested here looked like the start of something that could be further refined for easy digestion by us noddy's.

Accepted Answer

Never mind. Overcomplicating things as usual...

Just follow it up with the :odd selector with addClass...

```
$('#template').tmpl(data).appendTo('#list')
$("#list li:odd").addClass('odd')
```
