This doesn't work on pages where the background is already dark blue. IE, for example, switches to white for selecting on a dark background. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Select some text where the background is dark blue. 2. 3. Actual Results: You cannot tell what you've selected. Expected Results: You should be able to tell what you've selected.

Just a guess, ->XPToolkit

-> Selection (but, for me, with IE 6.0 on win2k, it does exactly the same thing that mozilla trunk does; the selection background-color is always dark blue, and the selection text-color is white, independent of the content background-color).

That's surprising. I'd like to see your sample page where IE6 does it wrong. Try http://www.thp.org/test.htm. I have IE6 on w2k(sp2) and it does the right thing - putting the selection background in white. But Mozilla makes the selection background dark blue.
