CSS ::selection Selector

Make the selected text red on a yellow background:

::selection {
color: red;
background: yellow;
}

Definition and Usage

The ::selection selector matches the portion of an element that is selected by a user.

Only a few CSS properties can be applied to the ::selection selector: color, background, cursor, and outline.

The numbers in the table specify the first browser version that fully supports the property.

Numbers followed by -webkit- or -moz- specify the first version that worked with a prefix.
