Changing the scroll bar colours in IE5.5
Dave
Hi All,
I have been playing with the new css properties for changing scroll bar
colours and have managed to get it working on a <TEXTAREA> element, but I
cannot get it working on an <IFRAME> that has a scrollbar :(
The css class I am using is ;
.scroller {
scrollbar-3d-light-color:white;
scrollbar-arrow-color:black;
scrollbar-base-color:white;
scrollbar-dark-shadow-color:white;
scrollbar-face-color:white;
scrollbar-highlight-color:white;
scrollbar-shadow-color:white;
}
Anyone help?
Thanks
Dave

Speaking as someone with Dyslexia, the last thing you want to do is override
the users preferred colors with the one chosen by a web designer.

I don't know how you could do it for IFRAME.
But you must be aware of some errors in the following css attributes :
> scrollbar-3d-light-color:white;
it's scrollbar-3dlight-color
> scrollbar-dark-shadow-color:white;
it's scrollbar-darkshadow-color
> scrollbar-shadow-color:white;
You also have scrollbar-track-color

didnt even think to check they were the correct names! :) Still i suppose we
all make mistakes, only natural that MS do as well...
I have also solved my problem now, i was applying the scrollbar styles to
the IFRAME element when I should have been applying them to the BODY of the
document that was being loaded in...
Everything looks fine now
Thanks to everyone who helped

thank you for the comment, but as the client said, research has shown
that the chosen colour, is one of the best for dyslexics.
but i am trying to make a colour changer that will work on frames and
follow the whole site.
ps, im dyslexic too

Of course, the client is always right <grin>, but I respectfully submit that
your client is incorrect in his/her assertion that any particular color
combination is best for most dyslexics. Out of curiosity, can you get a
pointer to this research? No two dyslexics are the same, which is true of
all visual impairments. Some need magnification, others need contrast
enhancement. Whereas some prefer yellow text on a black background, others
find that impossible to read.
It's important to remember that the user has already made their choices for
color and uses those colors every day. Why should your web page override
the users preference?
Of course, what would be optimal would be an option to turn on or off the
colors specified in the page. This is easily done using CSS.
