odd selectorversion deprecated: 3.4
Description: Selects odd elements, zero-indexed. See also :even.
version added: 1.0jQuery( ":odd" )
As of jQuery 3.4, the :odd pseudo-class is deprecated. Remove it from your selectors and filter the results later using .odd() (available in jQuery 3.5.0 or newer).
In particular, note that the 0-based indexing means that, counter-intuitively, :odd selects the second element, fourth element, and so on within the matched set.
Additional Notes:
- Because
:oddis a jQuery extension and not part of the CSS specification, queries using:oddcannot take advantage of the performance boost provided by the native DOMquerySelectorAll()method. To achieve the best performance when using:oddto select elements, first select the elements using a pure CSS selector, then use.filter(":odd"). - Selected elements are in the order of their appearance in the document.
Example:
Finds odd table rows, matching the second, fourth and so on (index 1, 3, 5 etc.).
