change text color on selection

[gemguy]

Hi,

I need some css tips on how to change the text color alone but not the background color when a selection is made.

i had used the below code which works well and specific for mozilla which changes the background to red and text to white on selecting the text.

*::-moz-selection {
background-color:#FF3C00;
}


But i need to change the text color alone something like blue.... Is there any CSS code to do it.

In this case just shut up. And don't insert commercial links in or as your signature, otherwise next time you will be baned.

use the color CSS attribute:

*::-moz-selection {
color:#0000cc;
}

Hi,

Its specific on mozilla and also i like to have the solution on all cross browser selections.

IE doesn't support this at all and Opera doesn't support it yet.

Safari 1.2+ supports ::selection.

So use this:
*::-moz-selection, *::selection {
color:#0000cc;
}
