Using the not-supported-by-IE :nth-child selector in jQuery, we can add the "fake" even and classes since :nth-child IS supported in jQuery and thus IE.
$('li:nth-child(even) a').addClass('even');
$('li:nth-child(odd) a').addClass('odd');
These rules, along with the jQuery function, select every-other a tag by using the added classes, "even" and "odd"
#wrapper li a.even {
background: #efeded;
}
#wrapper li a.odd {
background: #e8e5e5;
}
These rules select every-other a tag in browsers supporting :nth-child. (For some reason, I could not comma seperate these two sets of rules. Any ideas why?)
#wrapper li:nth-child(even) a {
background: #efeded;
}
#wrapper li:nth-child(odd) a {
background: #e8e5e5;
}
