CSS3: change the default color code of the selected text

Currently, Firefox, Safari, Chrome, and operabrowsers support text selection attributes. If the browser does not support this attribute, it will be ignored directly, so it will not have any adverse effects.

The following is a simple example of how to improve the UI experience.

2. Change the default color

First, for a simple example, we can set the basic style selected for the entire page text, as shown below:

  
  
   

    

     
The code is as follows:
     
Copy code
 
    
 
    

     
: Selection {background: # d3d3d3; color: #555; }::-moz-selection {background: # d3d3d3; color: #555 ;}:: -webkit-selection {background: # d3d3d3; color: #555 ;}
 
    
   
  
As a result, the default blue background selected by the text changes to light gray, as shown in the following figure, captured from the Chrome browser:

Of course, we can use the CSS selector to specify the style status after the selected text of the specific label content, for example, the selected chestnut color as shown below:

  
  
   

    

     
The code is as follows:
     
Copy code
 
    
 
    

     

      

       
. Maroon: selection {background: maroon; color: # fff ;}. maroon:-moz-selection {background: maroon; color: # fff ;}. maroon:-webkit-selection {background: maroon; color: # fff ;}
      
      

       
<P>... text content. </P>
      
 
    
   
  

The following figure shows the result:

Similarly, you can specify the CSS selector and the selected style of the corresponding content text/image based on your own needs. Here we will not give an example one by one.
