Display different color in alternate row using jquery

Most of the tabular data are organized in such a manner that they are easy to read. And for this, most of the developers use different color to highlight the alternate row.There are various method of displaying different row in different color but here I’m going to use the most simple method using jQuery.

I’m going to show you the examples both in “tables” and “div”.

First , define the tables and div as shown below in the “index.html” file,

<table border="1">
  <tr><td>Michael</td></tr>
  <tr><td>Sam</td></tr>
  <tr><td>John</td></tr>
  <tr><td>Jason</td></tr>
</table>

 <div>Michael</div>
 <div>Sam</div>
 <div>John</div>
 <div>Jason</div>

Now, we need to write the script for displaying the different color in the alternate row,

<script src="jquery.js"></script>

<script>
$(document).ready(function()
{
  //for div
  $("div:odd").css("background-color", "#F4F4F8");
  $("div:even").css("background-color", "#EFF1F1");

  //for table row
  $("tr:even").css("background-color", "#F4F4F8");
  $("tr:odd").css("background-color", "#EFF1F1");
});
</script>

The filters “even” and “odd” can be used in jQuery for selecting odd or even index of the elements.As you can see above the background color of the odd and even “div” are changed using the “css” method and “odd” and “even” filters of jQuery and the same applies for the even and odd “tr” which means for the row of table.
