Using Jquery or Javascript in CSS file with Chrome Browser

Is it possible to use Javascript or JQuery inside CSS for a Chrome and Safari Browser?

If it is, can you give a simple example in each of these cases?

Prior answers referenced below have addressed how this might be accomplished with Internet Explorer or with Firefox with a focus on Javascript, but they have not addressed how to make these compatible for Chrome or Safari, which are very popular or possibly using JQuery as a workaround.

Thank you for you answers!

Prior answers provided by @Zach here include the following:

HTC with IE Use a CSS like:

 body {
  behavior:url(script.htc);
}

and within that script.htc file have something like:

<PUBLIC:COMPONENT TAGNAME="xss">
   <PUBLIC:ATTACH EVENT="ondocumentready" ONEVENT="main()" LITERALCONTENT="false"/>
</PUBLIC:COMPONENT>
<SCRIPT>
   function main() 
   {
     alert("HTC script executed.");
   }
</SCRIPT>

The HTC file executes the main() function on the event ondocumentready (referring to the HTC document's readiness.)

XBL with Firefox Firefox supports a similar XML-script-executing hack, using XBL.

Use a CSS rule like so:

body {
  -moz-binding: url(script.xml#mycode);
}

and within your script.xml:

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<bindings xmlns="http://www.mozilla.org/xbl" xmlns:html="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">

<binding id="mycode">
  <implementation>
    <constructor>
      alert("XBL script executed.");
    </constructor>
  </implementation>
</binding>

</bindings>
All of the code within the constructor tag will be executed (a good idea to wrap code in a CDATA section.)

In both techniques, the code doesn't execute unless the CSS selector matches an element within the document. By using something like body, it will execute immediately on page load.
