hey folks,

i'm in the process of creating a new site, i'll post the link when i'm closer to adding text.

I have a small section where I'm going to add the text. Now this is going to cause me a small issue, I will need scroll bars. But i don't want the ugly ones IE or FF use.

Is there a way, with CSS that I can add a nice looking scroll bar?

your help is greatly appreciated.

cheers!

Yes there is -- try this simple code; just put in the corresponding HTML color code where it say's "color":

<style type="text/css">

</style>

Can i put it in the css sheet for the site?

Maybe i'll try that...

No; it needs to be placed within your <head> and </head> -- I also didn't mention that Firefox doesn't display colored scrollbars.

ok, here's what i have, and nothin! all before the </head> tag

<style type="text/css">

</style>

No wonder it doesn't display properly; you've given the same identical color in every line of code!

Here's a color specifier I use constantly to get my colors correct -- on the left side, click the name of the color to see how it looks -- then, on the right side, you'll find the corresponding HTML in Hype's Color Specifier
