jQuery nth child

Question

Is it possible to get jQuery to do the same job as nth:child(odd)?

So that I can add zebra lines to tables in browsers like IE6?

If so can someone help?

Answer 1

You are using the wrong syntax: $(":nth-child(odd)") or shorter $(":odd")

Answer 2

$("tr:nth-child(odd)").addClass("odd_row");

Answer 3

You can use the :odd selector to select odd table rows, like so:

$("tr:odd").css("background-color", "#DDD");

Answer 4

$('.class:nth-child(odd)')...;

Answer 5

Just do ("table tr:odd") or ("table tr:even"). Try using http://api.jquery.com where most of these types of questions are answered.
