Try it yourself »

Definition and Usage

The :odd selector selects each element with an odd index number (like: 1, 3, 5).

The index numbers start at 0, so the first element will be an even number (0).

This is mostly used together with another selector to select every odd indexed element in a group (like in the example above).

Syntax

$(":odd")


Tips and Notes

Tip: Use the :even selector to select elements with even index numbers.
