Zebra Table Rows
Part of the CSS Mastery section of Coddy's HTML journey — lesson 40 of 43.
Challenge
EasyA table is already given to you. Your task is to use structural pseudo-classes to style every second row with a different background color to create a zebra-striped table effect.
- Use the
:nth-child()pseudo-class to color every second row with a light gray background (#f2f2f2).
