Hello good of the forum i issue a CSS rule in my template to add color to the scroll bar thus:
BODY{
scrollbar-arrow-color:#666666;scrollbar-track-color:#666666;scrollbar-base-color:#0099ff;}
i tried viewing it in IE and it worked perfectly,but it mozilla firefox and netscape 7, it wasn't working.
Pls, what can i do?

If u think u can u can

Scrollbar CSS Styles don't seem to work at all in Firefox, Netscape or any Mac browsers... just one of those things.
I know for Mac their 'Aqua' interface style supercedes your scrollbar style - as for the others it seems like a decision they made not to support it.

These properties are illegal: they are neither defined in any CSS specification nor are they marked as proprietary (by prefixing them with "-vendor-".
As far as I know you can only use them in IE and Konqueror; but it will mean that you will not be able to get the effect you want on all browsers

If u think u can u can

its an IE specific style.

meaning IE integrated it to work in their browser as part of their product.

it is not a supported CSS definition in any other pc browser.

I think version of Opera also allow colored scrollbars, but don't quote me on it (yet).

As for others like Firefox adding colored scrollbar support, don't count on it <i>this</i> year since FF (Firefox) is sticking to standard "guns."

Trouble is that the scrollbars are part of the browser and not the actual HTML page - hence the less than total support for them

Why don't my scrollbar properties, filters, etc. validate?

The CSS Validator validates your style sheet against some profile, e.g. CSS Level 1 or CSS Level 2. Some browser Vendors however extend these profiles by new properties like Microsoft did with the scrollbar-base-color or filter property or Mozilla with the -moz-opacity property. The Validator is not aware of these properties and using them makes your style sheet invalid in terms of the CSS specifications. Either get rid of those properties or live with the fact, that your style sheets don't validate. You cannot have both.

Thank u guys once again and sorry dat my reply is late.
