Hard to know without seeing the site or the code. A couple of things though about changing things with the scrollbar. Only IE will ever see the changes. And most people do not like it. It's really best to leave the scrollbar alone.

Those properties were kinda nice when they first came out. I even had some sites where I used them. That was back before we knew any better. Thankfully, we are back with our senses...

yes i understand most people dont like them but still i am curious why they dont work
if i put them on a page in <style> etc one a blank page they work but when i try to include them in one of the pages i ahve basically finished such as http://calm.dansgalaxy.co.uk they do nothing.

could there be something on the page which is making them not work?

Thanks,
Dan

I don't see any code on that page or in the css for the scrollbar. I assume you took it off. I think we'll need to see those styles as well as the rest of the page to figure out why it might not be working.

Sorry for that... my domain okay now all changed and stuff...

anyway...

For some reason.

my <style> block which has the scroll bar things in

on some pages dont work when i place it in the <head> but if i put it above the <head> and <html> and the doctype it works....

Strange... any explination?

That is strange. Do you have a page like that right now? If so post a link and I'll take a look. It should work in the head and not above the doctype. I'm not sure I've ever seen that. I assume there's a mistake somewhere, but I'll probably need to see it to find it.

if you look at my thread about include i posted a page and a couple of the include maybe you can see what i mean i dunno
anyway it works but when i validate it tells me that i shouldnt have the doctype, html, head tags

So if you move the scrollbar stuff out of settings.php and into standardsheader.php it won't work? Or have you not tried that?
