Definition and Usage

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

The index numbers start at 0.

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

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