I am unable to get the data list to render the AlternateStyle.... Any ideas as to why?

<Table title="Calendar Maintenance" >
<asp:datalist id="dlCalendar" runat="server" OnItemCreated="OnItemCreated"
GridLines="Both" CellSpacing="2"
DataKeyField="Time_ID"
OnUpdateCommand="CalendarOnUpdate"
OnEditCommand="CalendarOnEdit"
OnCancelCommand="CalendarOnCancel">
<EditItemStyle ForeColor="Black" BackColor="#99ccff"></EditItemStyle>
<ItemStyle BackColor="#99bbff"></ItemStyle>
<AlternatingItemStyle ForeColor="Black"
BackColor="#ffff33"></AlternatingItemStyle>
<HeaderStyle Font-Bold="True"></HeaderStyle>
....
.....
</asp:DataList></Table>

I'm guessing it has to do with the <table> around the DataList.
Do you use <td> tags in your item templates?
If so, they will override the style applied in the <td> tags
generated by the datalist, because that's where the
itemstyle and alternatingitemstyle go.
