One way to solve your dilemma is to use tr:nth-child(even). That will select all table rows that are an "even" child of their parent element. This should work:
$("table tr:nth-child(even)").css("background", "#cccccc"); --Karl _________________ Karl Swedberg www.englishrules.com www.learningjquery.com On Feb 4, 2008, at 5:38 PM, Snef wrote:
Hi, I know how to do some 'zebra-striping' on tables with jQ, but i have a little problem. I have some (unknown amount) tables om a page and I want to 'stripe' the tables seperately, so that all striping is the same in each table. With a simple: $("table tr:even").css("background", "#cccccc") the rows are counted over all the tables and I want to start counting (for even and odd rows) for every table, so i tought: $("table").each(function() { // how to get the rows here??? }) How do I do this? (I do not know on forehand how many or which tables are on the page....)
