Today it came to my attention that a combination of jQuery selectors and the addClass() function does not work properly on IE8.
For example, when I want to ensure th
this works for me in ie8 and ie9 first you need 2 classes with the background-color
.even { background-color: white; }
.odd { background-color: #ff0; }
then with jquery find tr:odd add tr:even and add the corresponding class
$(document).ready(function () {
$('#table1').find('tr:odd').addClass("odd");
$('#table1').find('tr:even').addClass("even");
});
