Question

I have this html structure:

<ul>
<li></li>
<li></li>
<li></li>
...
</ul>

I need to paint red the li elements with the following sequence.

1st,3rd,7th,11th etc

Have in mind that the li elements are dynamically produced.

Answer 1

I’m sure this will do.

<script>$("ul li:first, ul li:nth-child(4n-1)").css({'color':'red'});</script>

Using jQuery you don’t have to worry about IE, it will work crossbrowser.
