How to I make CSS to make the background of my replies light green?

I have Firefox with Stylus. Stylus allows me to change styling, including background colors, of certain elements on a page via CSS. I can then apply this CSS to one site only, like Freerepublic.com.

I'm able to change the background color of my username on this site in a reply like this:

a[href*="chuckr163"]
  { background-color: #99d78b !important; 
}

But how do I change the background color of my whole reply but not anyone else's reply? All replies have a CSS selector of "div.a2" but I don't want to color all replies, just my own replies.

Thank you!

Best I can do.

The bigger question is; why would you want to subject everyone to seeing a nasty sherbert/sherbet green background on all your posts?

id be very surprised if you could use css of fr. I used to use the span html tag to do something similar.

This would not affect anyone that views the web page but me. That's how Stylus works.

I’m not familiar with it, but you’ve already figured out “selectors” from glancing at their instructions. If you combine that logic with “conditionals” and “iterations”, you might can build up a list of all posting blocks, and then spit out a color when the posting block matches your name. Assuming that’s possible, it’ll take a bit of finagling.

This does NOT work for some reason:

< html>

< head>

< style>

body {background-color:grey;}

< /style>

< /head>

< body>

< p>test test test background

< /body>

< /html>

Questions? Yea I’ve got questions! Why can’t I stay logged on to FR? That new security feature logs me out every time I close the viewer.no matter what level of security I choose I’m randomly logged off FR, while at home, or traveling. It would be nice not to have to log back in each time I open Safari to read FR. luckily my face recognition saves my username and password, but C’mon man! I’m wasting time logging in when I could be reading great FR responses!

You’re an old timer here, you should remember all the chaos those nasty italians used to create here.....

A pastor once told me that the answer to a “Why?” question is always “because you sin”.

Know what? I think that might be a Safari/Apple problem. I am fighting that very same issue right now with one of the members on my website. She is the only one using Safari on an apple mobile device... ipad. And this is happening to her a lot.

I have done everything I can with the site yet it is still happening. And only to her with the Safari and the apple device. The “remember me” will not work for her at all, and even page changes kick her out. So I am now leaning heavily towards the problem being on her end and browser.
