I need to style the table as a zebra, styling even rows of tables,

  • 0

I need to style the table as a zebra, styling even rows of tables, I used the css :nth-of-type(even). But for example when I need to hide some of the stylized elements of the table is lost. What’s the easiest way to create a dynamic styling as a zebra for a table?

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
  <script type="text/javascript" src="http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.5/jquery.min.js"></script>
  <style type="text/css">
    table tr:nth-of-type(even){background: yellow;}
  </style>
  <script type="text/javascript">
    function hideRow(){
      $(".hidden").hide();
    }
  </script>
</head>
<body>
<center>
 <table cellspacing="0" border="1">
     <tbody>
    <tr class="table-row">
      <td>row1</td>
    </tr>
    <tr class="table-row">
      <td>row2</td>
    </tr>
    <tr class="table-row hidden">
      <td>row3</td>
    </tr>
    <tr class="table-row">
      <td>row4</td>
    </tr>
    <tr class="table-row">
      <td>row5</td>
    </tr>
    </tbody>
 </table>
 <input type="submit" onclick=" hideRow()" value="submit"/> 
 </center>
</body>
</html>

How can I dynamically change the style of the table?

    When you hiding elemment, its still there (just hidden), so thats why you have this problem.
    Ill suggest you to create simple script against css :nth-of-type(even) selectors. First, two clases:

    .table_odd { color: yellow; } 
.table_even {color: white; }

    Now crete function:

    function refrestTableColoring( $tableSelector ) {
    $tableSelector.find('tr:odd:not(.hidden)').removeClass('table_even').addClass('table_odd');
    $tableSelector.find('tr:even:not(.hidden)').removeClass('table_odd').addClass('table_even'); 
}

    And then usage is simple. Call on document ready and when you’re hiding element:

    refrestTableColoring( $('table') );
