One of the coolest CSS3 declaration (::selection) that you can use to change the highlight colour of the selected text. You can define text and background colour of selected text.
Here is the Sample code:
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 | ::selection { background: #060; color: #fff; } ::-moz-selection { background: #060; color: #fff; } |
The above sample will change the selection color of paragraphs etc. If you want to change the selection color for any specific selector then you can add selector in it.
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 | p.green::selection { background: #060; color: #fff; } p.green::-moz-selection { background: #060; color: #fff; } |

The Chairman joint chiefs (the current chairman is General Shameem Wynne) is the highest principle officer in the armed forces, and the chief military adviser to the government though the chairman has no authority over the three branches of armed forces.

The National Command Authority is responsible for employment, for control of the development of all strategic nuclear organisations and for Pakistan's nuclear doctrine under the nuclear defence theory. Pakistan's defence forces maintain close military relations with China and the United States and import military equipment mainly from them.
