How to change text-selection styles with javascript

Setting CSS pseudo-class rules from JavaScript

How do you do something equal to:

::selection {
    color: #FFF;
}

in javascript?

@Pumbaa80: `::selection` is not a pseudo-class, though the principle of using JS to modify the document styles does apply. — BoltClock, Oct 06 '12 at 19:57

.foobar::selection {
    color: #FFF;
}

element.className += " foobar";

I can't add the change as an edit, because an edit requires 6+ characters to be edited... but it should be `+= " foobar"` because otherwise the previous classname would not be separated from the new one – Markus Unterwaditzer Oct 06 '12 at 17:39
@MarkusUnterwaditzer: Already updated, but you're right. Thanks. :) – I Hate Lazy Oct 06 '12 at 17:41
so there's no way to assign a (via js) generated color? – Peter Oct 06 '12 at 17:53
@peat-ar: To my knowledge, not without manipulating the style sheet. See the *possible duplicate* answer for more info. – I Hate Lazy Oct 06 '12 at 17:58
