Question

I want ot apply a style to some elements within a div:

<div id="showcase">
 <div class="project">
 <div class="project"> <!-- add a style here -->
 <div class="project">
 <div class="project"> <!-- add a style here -->
 <div class="project">
 <div class="project"> <!-- add a style here -->
</div>

The project divs are WordPress posts so I can’t just add the class in the div. So I think jQuery is the way to go.

Any suggestions?

Answer 1

$('.project:odd').addClass('myclass');

For optimal performance you should do:

$('.project').filter(':odd').addClass('myclass');

As James pointed out (and the docs above) :odd is used instead of :even because counting is 0 based.
