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
It is only valid in Internet Explorer and is a proprietary use of CSS and afaik never even be considered to be included into css, as it's not really about how the page itself displays, but rather dabbling with the values of the user defined browser settings.
I would not use them, as the code, as you know already can't validate, and secondly it's for IE only.
