I almost went mad trying to find out why my colored scrollbar doesn't appear in IE. I played around with TopStyle's option a bit and found out that it has to do with the doctype. It displays fine in HTML 4.0 and 4.01 Transitional, but in no other doctype. |

Seeing as colored scrollbars aren't in the standards, I wouldn't be surprised if that were the case. |

Well I have no particualr like/dislike towards them but in this case it would go extremely well with the design...yet I'd like to keep the site 100% XHTML compliant... |

I am a little surprised that the language the page is written in has a bearing on how the CSS is interpreted, but browsers do weird things with those doctypes. Do keep in mind that if you want your *CSS* to be compliant also, scrollbar colors should be left out. |

Do you mean CSS instead of XHTML as styles like the scrollbar have no bearing on XHTML (as far as I'm aware) but those browser-specific non-standard styles will get flagged as being incorrect when test your CSS over at W3C. You can safely ignore those error warnings. |

And the ability to remove your scrollbars with CSS doesn't work either when using the XHTML DOCTYPEs. A drag.... |

Pugzly: Ah that will explain problems we've been having with the scrollbars in the GN redesign. IE5.5 shows them fine but IE6 doesn't. Stinker. |

Yeah, that pissed me off as well when I was working on a site for a client. I couldn't figure out WHY the darn things wouldn't go away, when I COPIED & PASTED known working code...... |

Is it possible to tell Mozilla to display scrollbars on every page, even when they're not needed? I have a site where the content is centered horizontally, and there are some pretty short pages so that everything slips some pixels to the right when there aren't any scrollbars... |
