Giving Style to an Appended Div Element

[Malmadork]

Hello. I tried using another support forum to add a rank system into my forum. However I would like to change the color of the text within post_count_js.

Here is my code:


<override_macro name="post_count_js"> 
    <n.param_loop. param="postCount"> 
        <n.if.not.page_user.is_deactivated> 
            <then> 
                var $div = $('div.post-count<n.page_user.user_tag_id/>');  
                $div.html('<n.one_or_many n="[n.page_user.post_count_value/]" one_text="[t]post[/t]" many_text="[t]posts[/t]"/>');  
           
                $div.append("<br/>");  
                var postCount = <n.page_user.post_count_value/>;  
                if (postCount > 200)  
               
                    $div.append("Elite Member");  
                else if (postCount > 100)  
                    $div.append("Guru");  
                else if (postCount > 50)  
                    $div.append("Master");  
                else if (postCount > 25)  
                    $div.append("Helper");  
                else  
                    $div.append("Newbie");  
            </then> 
        </n.if.not.page_user.is_deactivated> 
    </n.param_loop.> 
</override_macro>


I already tried using `$div.style = 'color: blue' `however that did not work.

How can I change the color of each $div.append so they are different per rank? Thank you!
