Hi,

I have recently watching some web sites which have
their Scroll Bar Colored.

For eg.
You can see that the scroll bar is purple colored.

Can anybody know how to do this ???

Thanks,
Teky.

hey jeff or mike is there a way to assign this attribute to a page that is being loaded in to a targeted frame?

example:


<HTML>
<HEAD>
<TITLE>....:::pro-maintenance4U.com:::....</TITLE>
</HEAD>
<frameset rows=&quot;22%,78%&quot; border=&quot;0&quot;>
<frame name=&quot;navigation&quot; src=&quot; scrolling=&quot;no&quot; border=&quot;0&quot;>
<frameset cols=&quot;18%,64%,18%&quot; border=&quot;0&quot;>
<frame name=&quot;addframe&quot; src=&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; scrolling=&quot;no&quot;>
<frame name=&quot;mainsite&quot; src=&quot; border=&quot;2&quot; scrolling=&quot;auto&quot;>
<frame name=&quot;banners&quot; src=&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; scrolling=&quot;no&quot;>
</frameset>
</frameset>
</HTML>

i want everything loaded onto mainsite to assume the style attribute is that possible? and the sites i'm calling in are like homedepot's and lowes and things like that?

probably not huh..

that is my question jeff..where would i add it into the code above to make everything loaded into &quot;mainsite&quot; assume that style attribute?

if i add it underneath title in the <head> tag it would apply the attribute for the whole page..i just want it to apply to everything loaded in &quot;mainsite&quot;...

any ideas?

So what is the point to use it if it doesn't work even with IE 5.0?

the point in using it would be to add more visualy pleasing effects to the site that i am working on..having the scroll bar match the theme of the web site adds that extra touch of class(atleast my opinion)to the site..and that extra touch of class would be benefited by the user who takes the time to upgrade their browsers and things like that expecting more than what they once were offered..and for the ones who can't see it o-well..but the ones who can see it i figure would appreciate the class..and it only takes a second to add it to the code..for every new browser upgrade there will be more things we as designers can add to our designs..why not benefit from the advancing of technology in our design..and if you are content with staying with the norm maybe you should consider a different line of work!!

just a thought..


jeff or mike any ideas on my problem?

ok-ok-ok! I agree.

But I usually try to design sites that looks almost complitely equally in most browsers (IE, NN, Opera)...

And I still have IE 5.01...

as do we all..the key to be a good designer is also to understand different browser restrictions..but if a certain browser adds extra tweeking capabilities why not take advantage of them all..and eventually nn and the rest will catch up..remember playing follow the leader in the yard when you were a kid?.no matter how fast the leader was eventually the pack would catch up; the whole time following in the leaders footsteps..or worst case they would quit and go home!!

catch my point!!
