How can I style even and odd elements

Question

Is it possible to use CSS pseudo-classes to select even and odd instances of list items   I d expect the following to produce a list of alternating colors  but instead I get a list of blue items    lt html gt       lt head gt           lt style gt              li   color  blue               li odd   color green               li even   color red            lt  style gt       lt  head gt       lt body gt           lt ul gt               lt li gt ho lt  li gt               lt li gt ho lt  li gt               lt li gt ho lt  li gt               lt li gt ho lt  li gt               lt li gt ho lt  li gt           lt  ul gt       lt  body gt   lt  html gt

The problem with your CSS lies with the syntax of your pseudo-classes   The even and odd pseudo-classes should be   li nth-child even        color green      and  li nth-child odd        color red      Demo  http   jsfiddle net q76qS 5

The  nth-child n  selector matches every element that is the nth child  regardless of type  of its parent  Odd and even are keywords that can be used to match child elements whose index is odd or even  the index of the first child is 1    this is what you want    lt html gt       lt head gt           lt style gt              li   color  blue   lt br gt              li nth-child even    color red               li nth-child odd    color green           lt  style gt       lt  head gt       lt body gt           lt ul gt               lt li gt ho lt  li gt               lt li gt ho lt  li gt               lt li gt ho lt  li gt               lt li gt ho lt  li gt               lt li gt ho lt  li gt           lt  ul gt       lt  body gt   lt  html gt
