I want to put an image in my scroll bar on the right side of my page. I know it can be done because I saw it on a site, I don't remember what it was but I know you can do it.. Lol... And i need to know the height and width of the scrollbar so i can make an image to put in it. Heh, thanks!

then add this code

CODE

<DIV id=scroll3 style="BORDER-RIGHT: #000000 0px; BORDER-TOP: #000000 0px; OVERFLOW: auto; BORDER-LEFT: #000000 0px; WIDTH: #px; BORDER-BOTTOM: #000000 0px; HEIGHT: #px">

change the # to your own numbers

No I mean the scroll bar on the very right of the screen. Mine is black and white, I want to put a picture in it so when you look at it. You see a picture until you scroll down and cover it. Like that.

I really don't know what you mean. Do you still have that example? I don't think you can put a picture in a scrollbar if you mean it literally.

oOo your gonna have to make that on photoshop or paint shop pro.. or even ms paint then u upload it on http://www.imageshack.us then you put it in your backround box in your look and feel then postion it on the top right and center it vertically.. your talken bout that rite where a whole role of pics on your right.. i saw that on a skin before.. but if its not that cna u give an example?

[aTAsteofKrAcker]

I forgot what topic it was on. I remember it was about this guy wanted his site to look like some one elses. That's it though... Heh, I see what your saying though is it possible to put an image where the scroll bar is and let it show. And I do mean litterally putting an image there if i have to.

[Pulchritude]

you mean inside of your scroll bar? well i asked that question before and i got no answers so i gave up on it..

[*mona lisa*]

Well, I've never seen or heard about a picture inside a scrollbar. Maybe it was just a bunch of colors? The only way you can change the height and width of a scrollbar is in your computer settings. I think it was in your Display settings, but only you can see it on your computer if the size is changed, no one else.

[aTAsteofKrAcker]

Oh... Well, what about making it so the scroll bar is invisible except for the thing that tells you how much of the page you've got on the screen. And putting an image where the invisible part is... and for youse who don't know what i'm talking about, I want something like:

Example

[Pulchritude]

yup i wanted to know how to do that too but nobody didnt know how to do it unless you try this

CODE

<style type="text/css">body {
 background-color: url ("URL GOES HERE")
 scrollbar-arrow-color: #FFCDD2;
 scrollbar-track-color: #FFCDD2;
 scrollbar-shadow-color: #FFCDD2;
 scrollbar-face-color: #FFCDD2;
 scrollbar-highlight-color: #FFCDD2;
 scrollbar-darkshadow-color: #FFCDD2;
 scrollbar-3dlight-color: #FFCDD2;
 }</style>

iono something like that... not sure if thats right go check the xanga scripts for more scripts

[aTAsteofKrAcker]

Alright, I'll tell u if it works.

[*mona lisa*]

Wow, that's cute. I've never seen it. You could use the scrollbar codes found in the xanga scripts section to make it transparent except those outlined in black, and put an image underneath like you said. That part that you want to show on the scrollbar, you'd have to do it yourself on the image using an image editing program.

[aTAsteofKrAcker]

hahaha, this is what i made for it... My scrollbar

[*mona lisa*]

Did you try it out to see if it worked?

[aTAsteofKrAcker]

Fraid' Not... If anyone ever figures this out, goto my site and plz tell me? Sorry.

[talcumpowder]

I don't believe you can put an image into your scrollbar itself, but you can make your own scrollbar.
Google it....

So...... Yeah. That's really rather complicated, unless you know a good amount of HTML.

[whomps]

It's impossible to put a picture in your default scrollbar (the one at the very right of your screen). It IS possible to sort-of have an image appear in the scrollbar THROUGHOUT the layout, but not the scrollbar at the far right.

Example: (image "in" scrollbar throughout layout)
