  <title>CSS Pseudo-Elements Test: inheritance of selection highlight background color from its parent element</title>

  <meta name="assert" content="In this test, 'background-color' has not been specified a value for the highlight pseudo-element of the span element. Since the span's parent element has an highlight pseudo-element also, then the span's background color for its highlight pseudo-element should be inherited from its parent highlight pseudo-element. Therefore the span element should have a green background color.">

  <!--
  When any supported property is not given a value by the
  cascade, its value is determined by inheritance from the
  corresponding highlight pseudo-element of its originating
  element's parent element (regardless of whether that property
  is an inherited property).
