CSS Selector for nth range?

Question

How can I adapt the CSS selector below:

.myTableRow td:nth-child(?){
  background-color: #FFFFCC;
}

so it applies to td columns

Answer 1

If you want to select elements 2 through 4, here's how you can do it:

td:nth-child(-n+4):nth-child(n+2) {
  background: #FFFFCC;
}

Remind that the selector chain sequence should be from greatest to least. Safari has a bug that prevents this technique from working.
