Personally I think custom css on lj is a nightmare.
I recommend installing Firebug. Press Ctrl. + Shift + C and you get a sidebar that shows you the EXACT coding, all div names and the css.

You can test your css by editing in Firebug. All you have to do is, copy it into the custom css box.

this mozilla inspector thingy does the same more or less, dunno how it's called. but basically, this css works fine - just not here.

i just need to know 1 single basic info: if custom classes are possible/work when they're added in the entry + customization panel.

else, i won't waste time any further and i'll just style every div in the tag. bothersome, messy to look at, might explode my entry space, but works perfectly.

i'm not even touching layers, nor do i want to learn it atm, nor any other prog, tutorial etc.
cuz i need just it for 1 single entry, 1 red and 1 green border/bgd combination.

all i need in short, is a yes or no answer, maybe a how.

Sorry, no idea. I noticed that it differs from theme to theme?
It should be possible, but can't you use the code of the entry itself? Might same you some time and confusion?

sure, as i said already, i can style my div in the text entry/tag itself.

which means, EVERY SINGLE OF MAYBE 20-30 faq div's would look like this:



instead of: (if the class thing worked as it does in notepad etc)



i could even cut the width part and add it to the css, and have only this for each Q/A of my faq:



and write ONLY 1 TIME the whole css block in my panel.

see what's time robbing and confusing?...

Omfg, I can see why you need the class. And I think it should work, but experiences with Lj tell me it won't.

Luck so far?

nope, no luck, i tried all i could even before writing this question.. including skimming a *load of goggle links.
which is a waste of time IF it is not possible.
not even trying any more. waiting for that ONE answer to my ONE question.
is it possible, or not.
if yes, i can still figure how.
if no.. well that above, tag styling.
if nobody answers, same thing, tag style.
meanwhile, i go back to drawing ~ T_T
