redraw scroll bars 1

[Rydel]

I've noticed that some Web pages are capable of redrawing scrollbars (for example, to paint it different colors). I've also noticed that this behavior only works in IE5.5 and IE6.0. In any case I am curious how this can be done! Thanks in advance!

P.S. I looked into the code of one such page (including linked external .js files), but there was 40+ KB of obfuscated JScript code so I couldn't even figer out which function is responsible for the scroll bars (the functions were named fo, fi, ff, etc.). ---

It is done using CSS :

<style>
body {
scrollbar-3dlight-color:;
scrollbar-arrow-color:#FFFFF0;
scrollbar-base-color:#666666;
scrollbar-darkshadow-color:#c0c0c0;
scrollbar-face-color:#002163;
scrollbar-highlight-color:#cccccc;
scrollbar-shadow-color:#cccccc;
}
</style> Regards

Nice. I am delighted to give you a star. One additional question: what other browsers will understand this CSS definition? ---

I see. So Opera won't do? And are those scrollbar-xxx included in the official W3C CSS definition? ---

The scrollbar is in the specifications, but it is IE only. Regards
