Text Selection Background Color

[robindean]

I found this ...

::selection {background: #000000;}
::-moz-selection {background: #000000;}

but can't seem to get it working for my form's text input (type="text").

Solution?

They don't appear to be Mozilla Extensions (http://developer.mozilla.org/en/docs/CSS_Reference:Mozilla_Extensions), where did you find them?

I googled "text select background color css" and found what I could.

Is there a working method for this? If so, is it cross browser compliant?

[Fang]

It doesn't work on form controls nor is it x-compliant.

gotcha, not usin' it then.
