How to stripe rows with jQuery while excluding some particular rows.

Question

I'm using the following to stripe rows:

$(".stripeMe tr:even").addClass("alt");

I have a table with some rows. To mark the rows for the user I set one (or more rows) to have

style="background-color: red;"

Is there a way to continue to use my existing way of striping rows yet leave that one row different? I want to say "Add the class alt to all even rows except when I tell you not to"

Answer 1

How about use a class to style the user rows instead of the inline style. Then you can do: $('.stripeMe tr:even:not(.user)').addClass('alt')

I think I've got the syntax right on that, but not 100% sure.

Answer 2

$(".stripeMe tr:even").each(function(){

     $(this).addClass("alt");

});

Inline styles will override class change.
