Adding Tiger Stripes to Tables with jQuery

Posted by Mark Jensen on June 11, 2010 under Javascript

I have been a Prototypejs fan for a long time, but I finally got around to work with jQuery and it is truly an amazing framework.

In the old days when I would want to add stripes to my tables (with a class named tiger), I would have done something like this.

Doing it old school

window.onload = function () {
    var i, n, tables, table, trs, tr;
    tables = document.getElementsByTagName("table");
    for (i = 0; (table = tables[i]); i++){
        if (/\btiger\b/.exec(table.className)){
            var tbodys = table.getElementsByTagName("tbody");
            if (tbodys.length == 1){
                trs = tbodys[0].getElementsByTagName("tr");
            }else{
                trs = table.getElementsByTagName("tr");
            }
            for (n = 0; (tr = trs[n]); n++){
                tr.className += (n % 2 == 0) ? " alternate" : "";
            }
        }
    }
}

With jQuery magic

$(document).ready(function() {
    $("table.tiger tr:even").addClass("alternate");
});

Pretty simple, right?

If you have seen some his other lectures on Javscript, then you can probably skip through some of them. If you don’t know him, then I can guarantee that you will learn something very interesting about javascript.
