scroll bar colors… bit of help

@deraOct 03.2005

Note: I ~~[I]~~am[/I] aware of webstandards css1,2 etc rules and I know that Scrollbar Colours are against accessibility and are not supported or valid. But on request by a client I had to put them into their site.

Site is: ~~[url]~~http://mocfcvic.org.au[/url]
in Internet Explorer, I cannot see the colored scroll bars for the main page but inside elements the colored scroll bars appear. I am using IE 6.0.2800.1106 on Windows… any body know whats going on, I have tried adding it to <body style=”blah” and <body class=”classname” and even body{blahblah and in the internal style sheet but all the same results im not sure if its my computer or just the coding any help??

@FangOct 03.2005 — #Apply the scrollbar colors to the [I]html[/I] not the [I]body[/I].

@The_Little_GuyOct 03.2005 — #use this in your CSS external or interal style.

<i>
 </i>body
 {
 scrollbar-face-color:#4f7d9a;
 scrollbar-arrow-color:#383838;
 scrollbar-track-color:#383838;
 scrollbar-shadow-color:rgb(0,0,0);
 scrollbar-highlight-color:rgb(224,243,255);
 scrollbar-3dlight-color:#383838;
 scrollbar-darkshadow-Color:#383838;
 }

@Sunny_GOct 03.2005 — #Why do you have to put it into the html and not the body?

@keesvandierenOct 03.2005 — #The following sample works:

<i>
 </i>&lt;HTML&gt;
 &lt;HEAD&gt;
 &lt;STYLE&gt;
 HTML {scrollbar-3dlight-color:blue;
 scrollbar-arrow-color:;
 scrollbar-base-color:chartreuse;
 scrollbar-darkshadow-color:;
 scrollbar-face-color:chartreuse;
 scrollbar-highlight-color:blue;
 scrollbar-shadow-color:chartreuse}
 &lt;/STYLE&gt;
 &lt;/HEAD&gt;
 &lt;BODY&gt;
 &lt;TEXTAREA cols=30 rows=5 wrap=off CLASS="TA"&gt;This is text inside a TEXTAREA element.
