Hi, before you say it i know frames are bad practice - but i'm developing dynamic content on a site which has already been designed, so alas there's no option but to use them. Anyway, I just want to add simple styling to the scrollbar of the left hand frame of the page, but the styling i've applied isn't working for some reason.
The site is at http://www.maguiresonline.co.uk/new_website/index.html
It's the scrollbar in the middle of the page which i want to style.
I've added the scrollbar styles to both the <head> of the frameset page, and also the frame source page, code provided below.
Any help would be appreciated - cheers -

Styling scrollbars is considered bad practice, too.
Don't know if this affects that but you are missing a closing </frameset> tag.
Also, you are using an 'id' name more than once. id's are to only be used once per page and must be unique to one element.
I believe those scrollbars are controlled by the child and not the parent (with the exception of not allowing them via the scrolling="no" command in the parent.
In the child you would put the styling in the body tag, and you could use something like this: -
scrollbar-base-color: #000000; scrollbar-arrow-color: #FFFFFF; scrollbar-3dlight-color: #333333; scrollbar-darkshadow-color: #333333; scrollbar-face-color: #000000; scrollbar-highlight-color: #666666; scrollbar-shadow-color: #666666; scrollbar-track-color: #333333;
-
Hope that helps... by the way, the use of frames is NOT bad practice in and of itself... it's just that there are a lot of people who use them inappropriately, but those people's sites would suck wether they used frames or not.
