In this article, we will see how to set styles in even child of parent element using jQuery. To set the style on even child of the parent, we use jQuery :nth-child(even) selector.

The :nth-child(even) selector is used to select every element that is the even child of its parent element.

Syntax:

$("Selector:nth-child(even)")

Approach: First, we create an HTML element containing a div element. This div element contains some paragraph element, then we use :nth-child() selector to select all even position child of the parent element.

 

Example:

HTML




<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
  
<head>
    <script src=
    </script>
  
    <style>
        div {
            font-size: 18px;
            font-weight: bold;
        }
          
        p {
            margin-left: 50px;
        }
    </style>
  
    <script>
        $(document).ready(function() {
            $("p:nth-child(even)").css({
                backgroundColor: "green",
                color: "white",
                padding: "5px 15px",
                display: "table"
            });
        });
    </script>
</head>
  
<body>
    <h1 style="color: green;">GeeksforGeeks</h1>
