select text - background in red?

[GaVrA]

So you know when you select some text and background is like blue? I want to know how can i change that color? For example i would like it to be red... :)

 

Do i need javascript or can it be done with css?

apparently its easy with FF and Safari, but not IE.

 

FF/Safar:

 

::-moz-selection{background:#6374AB;color:#fff;} 
::selection {background:#6374AB;color:#fff;}

Is there any work around to make this effect and to have valid css?:)
