Preserved Topic: CSS and FORMS

hmmm, i have been trying to figure out how to change the border color of a "select box". it just doesn't seem to work as other form elements do...is it possible? anyone know how??

...the damn scrollbar color etc...doesn't change either! what a conspiracy...is this even possible...i think not...

You can change the background color, the background color of specific <option>'s, and the font...but as far as I know you can't change the border/scrollbar attributes.

Pisser.


{{edit}} oh yeah, if you want to see hwo to change the things I mentioned, go to http://www.gurusnetwork.com/tutorials/coding.html

Did you ever participate in an Easter Egg hunt? Remember how some of the best hidden eggs were the ones in plain sight? Well, look at the select box on this very page at the bottom right. Now look at all the other elements on this page. If there was a way to customize the colors of all the select box elements, don't you think the good Doctor would have already done so?

And, yes, it is quite the pisser!

here you go...
scroll bar:
body { background-color: #333333; scrollbar-face-color: #999999; scrollbar-shadow-color: #999999; scrollbar-highlight-color: #999999; scrollbar-3dlight-color: #383838; scrollbar-darkshadow-color: #383838; scrollbar-track-color: #999999; scrollbar-arrow-color: #383838 }

forms:
textarea{color:#000000; background:#CCCCCC; border-color:##383838;border-top:1px solid; border-bottom:1px solid; border-left: 1px solid;border-right:1px solid; font-family:tahoma;font-size:11px}
input {color:#000000; background:#CCCCCC; border-color:##383838;border-top:1px solid; border-bottom:1px solid; border-left: 1px solid;border-right:1px solid; font-family:tahoma,Arial;font-size:11px}
select {color:#000000; background:#CCCCCC; border-color:##383838;border-top:1px solid; border-bottom:1px solid; border-left: 1px solid;border-right:1px solid; font-family:tahoma,Arial;font-size:11px}

I wrote this myself for my webpage... just change the color codes and you'll be fine...
