problem changin color of scroll bars

hi,

i am tryin to alter the color of my scroll bars on a site i am workin
on. the site is oarsome.martynb issett.co.uk, to access the css style
sheet, type in oarsome.martynb issett.co.uk/oarsome.css.

i know the colors will be off in the css (if i could see them anyway)
but for some reason it just isnt displayin them. the code is taken
from another web site i done - www.the-gain.com
(www.the-gain.com/body.css) and that works fine.

if anyone can get a second to check this out and reply back to me that
would be great. cheers

Maybe uploading the stylesheet would help?

Changing the look of your browser chrome is off-topic for this group.
Ask in a a browser group apppropriate for your browser/os.

P.S. Before asking in a browser group, consider fixing your shift key.

Interesting keyboarding assumptions. Do right-handed folks really do
control-alt-delete with the same hand? Always done it the left-handed way
myself, and I'm not really left-handed.

Take your pick..
<http://www.physci.org/kbd.jsp?key=ctr l+alt+del>
...or..
http://www.physci.org/kbd.jsp?key=ctrl1+alt1+del
...or even..

Posting an url to your stylesheet won't change the correct answer you've
already been given, I'll repeat it for you just in case you missed it:

For added clarity I add: *your* browser scrollbars, don't try to mess
with other people's scrollbars.

What Spartanicus said, plus:
Giving the right css file doesn't help if you don't also give
the right url to the html file.
Found it though:
http://www.martynbisset.co.uk/oarsome/

Without going through the trouble of copying your code to find
out, try changing "body{..scrollb ar-values..}" to "html, body
{..scrollbar-values..}", as it might not be the body but the
html that is scrolled. You wrote the code, you should know what
is being scrolled, that's the element to which the styles should
be applied.
Or see what happens if you take the doctype off your page.
(not recommended, but then again, neither is changing other
people's scrollbars)

Ok, I am re-writing the URL of the stylesheet because I miss typed it.
What I am wanting to achieve is to alter the color of the scroll bars
of people who visit the site in question. For the URL of the
stylesheet I have re-posted, this isnt happening but I dont know why.

How is this post not relevant to this group?? This is discussion about
stylesheets is it not and it is possible to alter the colour of
browser scroll bars using stylesheets (yeh)?
For added clarity I add: *your* browser scrollbars, don't try to mess
with other people's scrollbars.


Why?!? Is this in anyway an answer to my question? If I have a struck
a nerve with you and it seems that you are offended my question then
please, dont answer, your of no use.

If anybody else can help me out, I would greatly appreciate it.
Basically I am just looking for some help because I cant understand
why one stylesheet changes the scroll bars (www.the-gain.com/body.css)
when another with the same code doesnt
(www.martynbissett.co.uk/oarsome/oarsome.css). Any ideas?

Cheers

Please take a look at and run the code snippet shown below. It creates a canvas with vertical & Horizontal scroll-bars. If you shrink the window to smaller than the area of the canvas, the scroll-bars work as advertised. That's great. However, if you click the Left Mouse button, it calls code which expands the width of the canvas by 100 pixels. The area being viewed expands correspondingly..... BUT I DON'T WANT IT TO!!

I have a TableLayout that I'm having problems with. I am placing controls in it that have scroll bars. When I put enough of them on the control to make the TableLayout's scroll bars appear the scroll bars for the TableLayout cover up my scroll bars for the child controls. When I resize the form it fixes and the child controls are in the appropriate places. This also occurs when the form is maximized and I restore down.

I was using quirks mode (without a doctype) and set the overflow CSS property to :auto for the body tag like so: <body style="overflow:auto"> And it worked; it got rid of IE's default scroll bars. However, when I tried to add any doctype at all (HTML strict, HTML loose, XHTML transitional, XHTML strict, etc.), it stopped working. Do I have any control over IE's scroll bars when using doctypes?
