You must specify nth-child of what element, syntax: element:nth-child(n) { style properties }

td:nth-child(odd)
{ 
   background:#ff0000;
}

You have to use the !important keyword to override the inline styles applied to the table.

nth-child(odd)
{ 
   background:#ff0000 !important;
}

This will have to be placed in a stylesheet, and cannot be used inline.
