Creates a striped list with alternating background colors, which is useful for differentiating siblings that have content spread across a wide row.
<ul>
<li>Item 01</li>
<li>Item 02</li>
<li>Item 03</li>
<li>Item 04</li>
<li>Item 05</li>
</ul>
li:nth-child(odd) {
background-color: #ddd;
}
Explanation
- Use the
:nth-child(odd)or:nth-child(even)pseudo-class to apply a different background color to elements that match based on their position in a group of siblings. - Note that you can use it to apply different styles to other HTML elements like div, tr, p, ol, etc.
