Scrollbar Color for Select Tag

[Skie]

From what research I've done, it appears you can't change the color of the scrollbar for a select tag (IE 6.0).

What I want to know is there a way to use a different tag so that I can change the scrollbar color? Is there a way to script (preferably vbs) a textarea to react like a list box? So, I can return the value of the line the where the cursor is positioned. Also, can I highlight that line so that it appears selected?

Is it possible to create something similar for a drop-down list? I know I can make a psuedo drop-down where an onclick event would trigger an overlapping layer that displays the information. If there's a better solution, I'd really appreciate it.

Thanks

As you've guessed, you'll have to use some sort of scripting to put in place all the behaviour of the "mock-down" (think that name will catch on?)

If you really must use VBScript, and thus limit your target audience to IE-only, then you'll need to ask in the VBScript forum. If you don't mind using JavaScript instead, giving a much wider audience, I suggest asking in the JavaScript forum.

IMHO, there will be a great deal more scripting than HTML to create a custom solution, which is why I'm suggesting seeking help in scripting-specific forums.

Hope this helps,
