Changing the highlight color when selecting text in an HTML text input

If you are looking for this:

Here is the link:

http://css-tricks.com/overriding-the-default-text-selection-color-with-css/

this is the code.

/*** Works on common browsers ***/
::selection {
    background-color: #352e7e;
    color: #fff;
}

/*** Mozilla based browsers ***/
::-moz-selection {
    background-color: #352e7e;
    color: #fff;
}

/***For Other Browsers ***/
::-o-selection {
    background-color: #352e7e;
    color: #fff;
}

::-ms-selection {
    background-color: #352e7e;
    color: #fff;
}

/*** For Webkit ***/
::-webkit-selection {
    background-color: #352e7e;
    color: #fff;
}

I realise this is an old question but for anyone who does come across it this can be done using contenteditable as shown in this JSFiddle.

Kudos to Alex who mentioned this in the comments (I didn't see that until now!)
