Scroll Bars - How To Edit Them?

Hi people.
I'm pretty much a complete novice at the whole web-design stuff but I'm playing around with a design at the moment and I really want to edit the scroll bar to make it fit in with the rest of the page but I have no idea how to do this!? What I don't want is the standard windows scroll bar and want to have my own with its own colours, look etc

Can anyone shed some light on this??

Cheers,
DaveyBoyWonder

<style type="text/css">
BODY {
scrollbar-face-color: #008000;
scrollbar-highlight-color: #000000;
scrollbar-3dlight-color: #008000;
scrollbar-darkshadow-color: #008000;
scrollbar-shadow-color: #000000;
scrollbar-arrow-color: #000000;
scrollbar-track-color: #000000;
}
</style>

OK so I'm showing my total newbie status here but I've inserted that HTML into the page and still the scroll bars are standard. I've even tried ripping HTML from other pages with the edited scroll bars and its still not working!!


HELP PLEASE?!

First of all, what browser are you viewing this in? Editing the scrollbar only works for IE 5.0 and above if I'm correct.

Try modifying the colors and safe your page, and make sure you refresh if you view it in IE.

Good luck with it

Can someone answer Davey's question please? Because I'm quite interested in the answer also!

What value (color) would be a transparent scroll bar?

Also, is it possible to edit scroll bars in an inline frame? If so, where do I place the code?

Thanks!!!

Not sure if you still need this answered. The CSS the first reply (Nayias) gave you should be added to the head section of your html document. Change the colours (they are hex codes) to suit the colours on your own page. This will make all the scrollbars you have on the page change colour, incl. ones in div tags.

I've also read that scrollbar colours only work in IE but I can view them in Netscape 7 & the latest version of Opera quite nicely!

Please ask again if this doesn't help

Cheers - I've got it sorted now - I was doing it right in the first place but I was editing the site in Namo Webeditor which obviously didn't like it. Using good old FP2000 now and its great!

Cheers people...

Well I been reading all about what's been said of the scroll bar situation, I too have tried using the code that Goddess was so kind to share, but doesn't work for me...

I've also read that it should work with IE 5.0 or higher, I have IE 6.0 and in the code area first part of each line gets redlined and when the error window pops up it say; CSS property scrollbar-track..etc-color is not supported by IE 5.0 or NN 4. 6. or 7.0 ?

Anyone help with this? I'd sure appreciate it ttyl
