DOJO has hit 1.0 and changed a lot of things. So the documentation is still all over the place with examples using old syntax.
I am migrating to DOJO from jQuery,so just wanted to get basic dojo.query functionality to work. Specifically,I wanted to highlight alternative table rows.
Not easy! At least for a newbie. I had to piece together 3 different documents and examples to figure out the easiest syntax.
<script type="text/javascript" src="http://o.aolcdn.com/dojo/1.0.0/dojo/dojo.xd.js"></script><script type="text/javascript"> dojo.addOnLoad(function(){ dojo.query("table tbody tr:nth-child(odd)").addClass("even");});</script>This highlights 1st,3rd,5th…rows in table body. It is also possible to say nth-child(3n+0) to select every third row. However nth-child(3n) does not work,at least in 1.0.

>I am migrating to DOJO from jQuery
any particular reason ?
Mostly for accessibility,but it would be nice to have a room for growth if widgets are required.
Also,if I am going to learn one framework in depth,DOJO looks like one with more support by commercial companies.
To make it select a particular table use:
dojo.addOnLoad(function(){
dojo.query(“#data_table tbody tr:nth-child(odd)”).addClass(“odd”);
dojo.query(“#data_table tbody tr:nth-child(even)”).addClass(“even”);
});
Where “data_table”is the CSS id of your table element.
cool thanks!! really helped
