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

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)?


Not in a www context, note that "www" is part of this discussion group's
name.
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?


Hint: this is a discussion group, not a helpdesk. You propose something
and we'll discuss it's implications. UI elements belong to the user and
authors should not attempt to mess with it.

Dont worry about it, Ive got it the way I'd like it. Ive just applied
the style to the <textarea> tag and that works for me. Thanks

Worry about what? Quote a relevant bit of what you are replying to, snip
it down to a minimum and put your reply beneath it.

[browsing up the thread]

So you've managed to do something that works on your UA, flaunting basic
UI principles, and your attempt to mess with this will fail on the www.
Congratulations .

Fortunately, it *doesn't* work for me, because my browsers take no
notice of your proprietary styles.

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 think I'm going nuts... Put a scroll bar control on a form and in the form_load method, initialise it as follows: vScrollBar.Minimum = 0; vScrollBar.Maximum = 10; vScrollBar.SmallChange = 1; vScrollBar.LargeChange = 10; vScrollBar.Value = 0; vScrollBar.Visible = true;

I am developing an application in Access 2000 (A2K) which has multiple forms and subforms. Until now, all subforms displayed scroll bars properly (according to the subform's property setting).

I have tried deleting and recreating both the subform control and the subform itself thinking this would address the issue. I also tried...

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?

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
