hello!!

i'm french .. so excuse my language ;)

i would like to know how i can put a color for highlight..

try "select all" with the right button.. et i would like to have the highlighting in yellow

thank for your help !! :pDo you mean the highlight color when you left-click on text and drag the mouse?

If that's the case, those colors are determined by the user's system preferences, not by CSS. I don't know of any way you can change that with CSS.

If you're talking about changing the background color of a link, here's how to do it.

a:hover {
background-color: red;
}

The :hover is a psuedo-class for the anchor tag, for when the mouse hovers over the link.

You could also apply that background-color: color; property to almost any HTML tag.

If that's not what you were aiming for, my apologies.Originally posted by darkscript

That will probably be available in CSS 3. But that is not a finished spec and it normally takes about 3-5 years before most users have upgraded to new browsers (if we assume all new browsers correctly implement the spec, eg MS IE is slow with that sometimes...)
