OK, so I have never coded for a forum and I have no idea where or how to begin. I want to make a code that would set moderators to post in a color. I understand that they could just post and use around there text but i want to simplify it to where they just post and the color is auto set. If anyone could lead me in a directions that would be greatly appreciated. I am not even sure if this is the place for it but i thought I would give it a try. THANKS in advance.

I did find this but it doesn't work and it's outside my understanding where it fails.

 <style type="text/javascript">
.usercolor{background-color:<font color="ADD8E6">000000</font>;}
</style>


<script type="text/javascript">
var monster=document.getElementsByTagName('td')
for(i=0;i<monster.length;i++){
if(monster<i>.className.match(/(windowbg|windowbg2)/i) && monster<i>.width.match(/20%/i) && this.location.href.match(/thread=/i) && monster<i>.innerHTML.match(/user=(admin|blue)/i)){
monster<i>.className=monster[i+1].className=monster[i+6].className="windowbg usercolor"
}
}
</script>

*I understand that they could just post and use around [ Color = ADD8E6 ] [ / color] there text...

Moved to Javascript. Please note that Java and Javascript are two separate languages.

Sorry didn't realize. Can someone help me out?

first, there are a couple of syntax errors, which you can find in the Error Console.

wouldn’t it be easier to mark the cells of interest with a class name and target those specific cells (instead all of them)?

the href test should not be made inside the for loop, as it is constant for every cell. i.e. you only start the loop, if the href test succeeds.

if there are only windowbg and windowbg2 as class names (i.e. there is no windowbg3), it is sufficient to test for "windowbg" (at least /windowbg2?/ were more sensible).
