Make alternating CSS table row style work in Internet Explorer

Question

I use this CSS code to display a database output in rows where the colors repeat in every 2nd row

tbody tr:nth-child(2n) td, tbody tr.even td {  
    backgro         


        

Answer 1

IE8 does not support the :nth-child CSS property. You can make it work in IE8 with this script:

How to use it:

You can Include it via conditional comments, e.g.:

The script will only load in IE9 and below, other browsers do not see it.

(This demo should work in all versions of IE.)
