Petemac Posted January 2, 2006 Share Posted January 2, 2006 I have a question that widely goes unanswered. How do I change the color of highlighted text? You know when you select a bunch of text, and the web browser gives the selected text a blue background and changes the text white? How can I change those colors to whatever I want?

AndyB Posted January 2, 2006 Share Posted January 2, 2006 I strongly suspect that this is a function of the operating system (the so-called 'theme') and nothing that can be changed by CSS for the browser.

ryanlwh Posted January 14, 2006 Share Posted January 14, 2006 if you look into the style sheet of mad4milk.com: ::-moz-selection{ background: #fbdbe8; color: #F55B99; } ::selection { background: #fbdbe8; color: #F55B99; } it doesn't work on IE Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/3134-changing-the-highligh-text-select-color/#findComment-10880 Share on other sites More sharing options...
