Add color on column with jquery

Question

How can I add css class on odd columns in a table with jquery?

My code is:

$("table columns:odd").addClass("colors");

Answer 1

You have to target td tags inside your table, and you have to use nth-child with odd:

$("table td:nth-child(odd)").addClass("colors");

You can also do it more simple:

$("table td:odd").addClass("colors");
