title: jQuery Zebra Striping: Skip First Row
body: <p>I need some help with zebra striping a table using jQuery. I want the first table row to be red and then zebra stripe the rest of the rows.</p>
  
  <p>I can make the first table row red using: </p>
  
  <pre><code>$("#my_table tbody tr:even").addClass("stripeRed");
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>But, if I add the zebra striping as follows, then it overrides the red stripe.</p>
  
  <pre><code>$("#my_table tbody tr:even").addClass("stripeWhite");
  $("#my_table tbody tr:odd").addClass("stripeBlack"); 
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>How do I skip the first row when zebra striping?</p>
