They use evil proprietary CSS. If you really have to, seePeter said:I've seen some pretty neat webpages which color the scrollbars of IE, how do

As you suggest, i'm now on the hunt for their CSS coding!!
Thanks for the tip

Beg to differ - agreable to whom?
People are *used* to having light blue scroll bars or light grey or whatever
they have set their GUI to display.
If you change the way the user interface works on your viewers browser then
she just might get confused/annoyed enough to run far, far away from your
site.
I have seen sites that abuse this IE stupidity so much so that the scroll
bars become invisible and therefore unusable. Fortunately I use my mouse to
scroll and am not really perturbed.
Up in the <head> will be a <link ... type="text/css"> to something like
cssfile.css.
Type this into your browsers address bar:
view-source:http://example.com/cssfile.css
and all will be revealed.
Thank you for your invaluable helpCheers
Richard.
Peter said:Well, to be honest i'm using a frame based navigation system, and it
bothered me that the scrollbar stood out and clashed with the rest of the
graphics. Now that i know how to soften the visual harshness of the
scrollbar, i will use it with moderation (promise!).
