[jQuery] TableSorter vs Zebra Stripes

[jQuery] TableSorter vs Zebra Stripes

I want to create a table that features sortable columns and alternate row colors. I found scripts that do one or the other, but when I implement both, the row color function is impaired.

First, I downloaded the JQuery TableSorter plugin; hence the links to jquery-1.2.6.min.js and jquery.tablesorter.js below. Below that is the JavaScript for the "Zebra Stripes" function. When used together, the table exhibits no row colors except when I mouseover a row.


Does anyone know how I can fix this?

Thanks.
