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

I like the answer above, but alternate row colours doesn't seem to work if a document isn't refreshed.

Try jQuery too:

$("tbody tr:even td").css("background-color", "lightgray");
