Two extensions

June 30, 2001 by Marcello Cerruti

The "ghost scrollbars" are wieved only with IE, so the attribute is ignored by Opera and Netscape.

Two extensions are available at http://www.massimocorner.com both written by Massimo Foti:

  • Set IE Scrollbar, a Command full of time-saving options;
  • Body Inspector, a Property Inspector

What seems curious to me is that, albeit you can set all the body attributes with CSS and, since vers.5.5, IE support scrollbar styles (to create coloured scrollbars), there is not such a style about scrolling options.
