Using CSS how to change only the 2nd column of a table

To change only the second column of a table use the following:

General Case:

table td + td{  /* this will go to the 2nd column of a table directly */

background:red

}

Your case:

.countTable table table td + td{ 

background: red

}

Note: this works for all browsers (Modern and old ones) that's why I added my answer to an old question

Try this:

.countTable table tr td:first-child + td

You could also reiterate in order to style the others columns:

.countTable table tr td:first-child + td + td {...} /* third column */
.countTable table tr td:first-child + td + td + td {...} /* fourth column */
.countTable table tr td:first-child + td + td + td +td {...} /* fifth column */

You can use the :nth-child pseudo class like this:

.countTable table table td:nth-child(2)

Note though, this won't work in older browsers (or IE), you'll need to give the cells a class or use javascript in that case.
