jQuery :even Selector

Select every other (even) <tr> element:

$("tr:even")

Definition and Usage

The :even selector selects each element with an even index number (like: 0, 2, 4, etc.).

The index numbers start at 0.

This is mostly used together with another selector to select every even indexed element in a group (like in the example above).

Tip: Use the :odd selector to select elements with odd index numbers.

$(":even")
