Title Body

The ::selection { } CSS element selector is supposed to replace the default blue-colored text selection with our own choice of text and background color. However, this seems not always the case, as I often see websites which has the remaining blue color. It's not completely replaced with our owh choice of color. ======EDIT====== I guess it's easier to see by our own eyes rather than through screenshot. See this page for example: bleachindonesia.com/2012/05/27/bleach-day On that page, if you try to select all (Ctrl+A), you would see the text will be blocked/selected with gray color. Yes, because the page CSS employs ::selection, ::-moz-selection { background:#59574b;color:#fdfcf5; } . However, as you can see with the screenshot below, it leaves some default, blue-colored selection on some part. https://i.sstatic.net/A0aUJ.png Notice the color difference, and at the same time, the unselected part. There are some parts on the site that gets selected with the default blue-colored ::selection, but at the same time there are also some other parts that doesn't get selected. Meanwhile, there is also this page: 24ways.org/2005/swooshy-curly-quotes-without-images Again, try to select all (Ctrl+A) the page. You could see all selection is perfectly maroon-colored. There is no default blue-colored selection. There is only parts that doesn't get selected, but there is no the default blue-colored selection. As pictured by the screenshot below: </p
