How to achieve alternating row styles for a responsive table?
I think I need JavaScript to solve this but that's why I need help (I've only edited existing JavaScript - never created them).
I have two striped tables nest side-by-side that when viewed on a mobile device, the table on the right moves below the table on the left to look as one continuous table.
The problem is with the table striping only when viewed on a mobile device if the tbody row counts are an even number, I end up with two consecutive rows in the middle being the same color.
@media only screen and (max-width: 480px) {
.sizesTableContent {
display:block !important;
width:100% !important;
}
.hider {
display: none;
}
}
.sizesAsterisk {
width:100%;
border-collapse: collapse;
text-align: left;
font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;
font-size: 14px;
font-weight: normal;
}
.hanging {
text-indent: -0.5em;
padding-left: 0.5em;
}
.sizesTableContent {
vertical-align: top;
}
.sizesTwoColumn {
width:100%;
border-collapse: collapse;
border-top: 1px solid #000000;
border-bottom: 1px solid #000000;
}
.sizes {
border-collapse: collapse;
white-space: nowrap;
width: 100%;
text-align: center;
font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;
font-size: 14px;
font-weight: normal;
}
.sizes td:first-child {
text-align: left;
font-weight: bold;
}
.sizes th {
border-bottom: 1pt solid #000000;
vertical-align: bottom;
font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;

You won't need JavaScript. Simply use some :last-child pseudo-selectors in your media query to change the presentation a little more in mobile view. This essentially switches the even/odd backgrounds of the 2nd table only in mobile view:
.sizesTableContent:last-child .sizes tbody tr:nth-child(odd) {
background: #fff;
}
.sizesTableContent:last-child .sizes tbody tr:nth-child(even) {
background: #ffffcc;
}
@media only screen and (max-width: 480px) {
.sizesTableContent {
display:block !important;
width:100% !important;
}
.hider {
display: none;
}
.sizesTableContent:last-child .sizes tbody tr:nth-child(odd) {
background: #fff;
}
.sizesTableContent:last-child .sizes tbody tr:nth-child(even) {
background: #ffffcc;
}
}
.sizesAsterisk {
width:100%;
border-collapse: collapse;
text-align: left;
font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;
font-size: 14px;
font-weight: normal;
}
.hanging {
text-indent: -0.5em;
padding-left: 0.5em;
}
.sizesTableContent {
vertical-align: top;
}
.sizesTwoColumn {
width:100%;
border-collapse: collapse;
border-top: 1px solid #000000;
border-bottom: 1px solid #000000;
}
.sizes {
border-collapse: collapse;
white-space: nowrap;
width: 100%;
