Line 3 is a hidden What is the best approach to get t
odd/even css rule.
Hide the rows you want to hide calling .hide() for each table row, then call
$("tr:visible:even").css( "background-color", "" ); // clear attribute for all rows
$("tr:visible:even").css( "background-color", "#ffffddff" ); // set attribute for even rows
Add your table name to the selector to be more specific. Using :even makes it skip the Header row.
