Hi,

I display data in result div that contains a href links
I want to use :nth-of-type on the links it works fine

C#

#result a:nth-of-type(even) {
      background-color:#edeaea;
      
 
   }

But right now it display the background-color only as the size of the text
But i want to display the backgroundcolor as full with of the result table
so i have tried with using

CSS

display:block;

It then displays the color as the table div width but it also create white spaces between
So for ex
Data1 = white
Data1 = #edeaea
Here is not data it display white color even if its no data here
Then Data3 = white
Then Data4 = #edeaea
And then again here its white here is no data

Can you show the HTML this CSS applies to?

You can use nth-child(2n) to get all even elements.
Odd elements will have default background color as you haven't specified it for them.
Instead of having display: block; try setting setting line-height to wanted height (and maybe fixed (or percentage) width and height). Maybe play with paddings to fill out left and right parts.

I think you are targeting the wrong element.
Since you're talking about a table, you should target the "tr" elements.
This way, it doesn't matter what the table content is.
There will be no white space.
