Is it possible to use CSS pseudo-classes to select even and odd instances of list items?
I\'d expect the following to produce a list of alternating colors, but inste
Use this:
li { color:blue; }
li:nth-child(odd) { color:green; }
li:nth-child(even) { color:red; }

The problem with your CSS lies with the syntax of your pseudo-classes.
The even and odd pseudo-classes should be:
li:nth-child(even) {
color:green;
}
and
li:nth-child(odd) {
color:red;
}
Demo: http://jsfiddle.net/q76qS/5/
li:nth-child(1n) { color:green; }
li:nth-child(2n) { color:red; }
<ul>
<li>list element 1</li>
<li>list element 2</li>
<li>list element 3</li>
<li>list element 4</li>
</ul>

$(document).ready(function(){
var a=0;
var ac;
var ac2;
$(".names li").click(function(){
var b=0;
if(a==0)
{
var accc="#"+ac2;
if(ac=='part2')
{
$(accc).css({
"background": "#322f28",
"color":"#fff",
});
}
if(ac=='part1')
{
$(accc).css({
"background": "#3e3b34",
"color":"#fff",
});
}
$(this).css({
"background":"#d3b730",
"color":"#000",
});
ac=$(this).attr('class');
ac2=$(this).attr('id');
a=1;
}
else{
var accc="#"+ac2;
//alert(accc);
if(ac=='part2')
{
$(accc).css({
"background": "#322f28",
"color":"#fff",
});
}
if(ac=='part1')
{
$(accc).css({
"background": "#3e3b34",
"color":"#fff",
});
}
a=0;
ac=$(this).attr('class');
ac2=$(this).attr('id');
$(this).css({
"background":"#d3b730",
"color":"#000",
});
}
});
Below is the example of even and odd css color apply
<html>
<head>
<style>
p:nth-child(even) {
background: red;
}
p:nth-child(odd) {
background: green;
}
</style>
</head>
<body>
<p>The first Odd.</p>
<p>The second Even.</p>
<p>The third Odd.</p>
<p>The fourth Even.</p>
</body>
</html>
but it's not working in IE. recommend using :nth-child(2n+1) :nth-child(2n+2)
li {
color: black;
}
li:nth-child(odd) {
color: #777;
}
li:nth-child(even) {
color: blue;
}
<ul>
<li>ho</li>
<li>ho</li>
<li>ho</li>
<li>ho</li>
<li>ho</li>
</ul>
