Scrollbar Colors

[Red Wolf]

I have recently seen some code in a style sheet to change the colors
and such of a scroll bar, specifically:

scrollbar-arrow-color: #BA613F;
scrollbar-face-color: #500F09;
scrollbar-base-color: #500F09;
scrollbar-dark-shadow-color: #BA613F;
scrollbar-highlight-color: #BA613F;
scrollbar-shadow-color: #BA613F;

This does some warm effects, as you can tell if you can read
hexacolor. When I go through the W3C's validator, though, it comes up
as an error. Is this something in development, something that only
works on IE, or an exploit of something weird?

Thanks in advance,

Red Wolf

Well, that is because it is error.

No, it is MS spesific stupidity.

It also 'works' on some other browsers, and most of them have setting to
enable/disable it

Microsoft "extension" to CSS. Generally you shouldn't be fiddling with
the user interface of the browser anyway, so I wouldn't worry about it.
