Hi there,

I have a code in my "Heroes" section to have my scroll bar be certain colors. But, on my page, it is still the common grey scroll bar. Could someone let me know what I am doing wrong and how to fix it? Thank you!

Are you using Firefox? I don't think the browser accepts scrollbar codes. I know that all of mine look fine in IE, but they don't show up in FF.

try putting the SCROLL-BAR CODEING in the ABOUT ME SECTION..

I do use Firefox for internet. Do you think that is why they are not showing up? That is ridiculous! lol

It's not ridiculous, CSS is for governing the style of HTML, not the user-end browser. Scrollbar styles are proprietary to Internet Explorer, it's against web standards, it's Micro$oft thinking they can make their own web standards.

Who cares? Seriously. You sound ridiculous.

Kudos to Microsoft for thinking of awesome scroll bars! I bet you FF will allow scroll bars in the future.

^How does he sound ridiculous? It's the truth. It's unfortunate, though. I'm all for standards but that's one of the few MS proprietary codes that doesn't hurt anything while adding a little spice to the design.

Anyway, you can change the colors but I'm afraid this method won't work on MySpace. You'd have to use Javascript to break the rules that have been established by the W3 consortium so anything can be read and followed. However, MySpace doesn't allow Javascript so you really have no choice.

Web standards are there for a reason.

The Scroll bar coding is Ment to be in the ABOUT Me section..its always been that way ever since myspace was Started.

^Not really. In fact, CSS codes can be placed in any section except for your Headline section.

Do people here just make stuff up and post it, hoping that no one will correct them?

"its always been that way ever since myspace was Started."

Do you even know what CSS is?

Yeah thats the reason.
I think its pretty stupid too.
I dont use firefox much but when i do i notice that the scrollbar never works.

Scroll bars are part of the browser, not the web page.

I corrected him, if it helps.

Anyway, I think this can be closed & moved now. I believe the OP's question has been answered already.

well actualy the Scroll bar is KINDA Part of the WEB PAGE, because the EDITOR OF THE WEB PAGE HAS CONTROL OVER THE SCROLL BAR, HE/SHE CAN HIDE IT OR PLACE IT WHEREVER..

It's part of the browser. It's just ON a web page.

I'm pretty sure you got your answer.

Closed & Moved to Resolved.
