Colored scrollbar question

[taulmaril]

I just made a simple menu page for a friend using a colored scrollbar . . . I used this code
<!--StyleSheet for the Scrollbars, change color codes to change collar of scrollbar components-->
<style>
body {
scrollbar-3d-light-color:#F7C885;
scrollbar-arrow-color:#9A8A4F;
scrollbar-base-color:#9A8A4F;
scrollbar-dark-shadow-color:#C26B0C;
scrollbar-face-color:#C26B0C;
scrollbar-highlight-color:#C26B0C;
scrollbar-shadow-color:#9A8A4F}
</style>
<!--End StyleSheet-->
I see the scrollbars fine on my screen but on her computer everytime she changes her windows color preferences the scrollbars change color. We're both running Win98 and IE. Anyone have any idea why this is happening and/or how to fix it? Thanks

Are you both running the same IE version? That could be the difference.

what do you mean by 'color preferences'? If you mean that the color depth of the screen is changed, then yes, variations of some colors can result. Whether you change the color depth upwards or downwards will determine the 'trueness' of some colors.

Even with the color depth changing, any differences would be almost minimal. If you mean something else, though, please reply here and give us a little more idea of what is changing.

Sorry if I was unclear. The color of the scrollbars changes when she changes her Display Properties in Windows. When you right-click on the desktop then choose properties then click the appearance tab and change the colors. Here's the page addy if that helps (pardon the crappy geocities but that's where she hosts) The scrollbars are supposed to be a brownish color but when she opens the page the color matches her Display property color of green.

She needs to update her Internet Explorer. Once she does that...she should be able to see it.

Good Luck

What you need to do is add this to your css declarations:

html, body {

instad of just body {

You have not specified the: scrollbar-track-color : #hhhhhh; and it may be defaulting to the changed browser colors but if you have not specified a body background color that too could be affecting scrollbar colors.

She upgraded to the newest version of IE and now everything is working. Thanks everyone!

YooHoo...that was me first impression...since it happens to quite a few people with older computers.
