Question

I need to apply background color to the alternating rows of my html table.

My current code:

.licList
    {
        width: 100%;
        border: 1px solid #f7f7f7;
        text-align: center;
        border-collapse: collapse;
    }

    .licList th
    {
        font-weight: bold;
        background-color: #dbdbdb;
        border-bottom: 1px solid #f1f1f1;
        padding: 4px 5px;
    }

    .licList td
    {
        padding: 4px 5px;
    }

    .odd
    {
        background-color: #ffffff;
    }
    .odd td
    {
        border-bottom: 1px solid #cef;
    }

and jquery is

    $(document).ready(function () {
        $("licList:tr:odd").addClass("odd");
    });

I’m sure that the above jquery is not correct I’ve multiple tables in single page so I can’t apply

$(document).ready(function(){
    $("tr:odd").addClass("odd");
});

so my question is how to solve this problem????

Assign a id/class to your table and access rows under that table. Suppose your table has id tbl

Live Demo

<table id="tbl">
   <tr>
        <td>1</td>
        <td>1</td>
   </tr> 
   <tr>
        <td>1</td>
        <td>1</td>
   </tr> 
</table>

$(document).ready(function(){
    $("#tbl tr:odd").addClass("odd");
});
