RE: [WSG] Scrollbar Colouring...

[Michael Efford]

Hi Chris,   The scrollbar attributes are proprietary IE code. They arn't in the official CSS2 spec. There's nothing really wrong with using them, the only downside is that your CSS won't pass the validator, but that's hardly a concern if they are the only errors shown.   Regards, Michael Efford { Digital Designer* } freelance multimedia designer http://www.michaelefford.com.au [EMAIL PROTECTED] -----Original Message----- From: Chris Stratford [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, 3 December 2003 1:29 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [WSG] Scrollbar Colouring... I have noticed that the scrollbar colouring is not a standard piece of CSS material…   For example:   Body { background-color: #EEEEEE; scrollbar-base-color: #808080; scrollbar-arrow-color: #808080; scrollbar-darkshadow-color: #008000; scrollbar-face-color: #808080; scrollbar-highlight-color: #FFFFFF; scrollbar-shadow-color: #FFFFFF; scrollbar-3dlight-color: #808080; }   That is claimed to be correct CSS, and it works in Internet Explorer – but when you use the W3C CSS Validator, it comes up saying that the scrollbar-base-color etc… are not functions. I don’t know why its not real CSS because it seems to work, I am curious if it works in other browsers other that IE, I cannot test that’s why I am posting this here… Sorry again – this is my 2nd email… I apologise if it’s majorly newbified…   Just wondering what the others think… I am currently remodelling my website, and as such I am going to make sure it adheres to HTML 4.01 and CSS standards. So I need some advice, whether I should use the scroll-bar colouring technique or not.   Thanks people!     ------------------------ • Chris Stratford • [EMAIL PROTECTED] • www.neester.com ------------------------
