+3 A:

(except in IE)You can't change Scrollbars with CSS only, check out the JScrollPane for a Cross browser compatible scrollbar changer.

Actually, you can, but only in IE.

Oh yes. I forgot about IE, conveniently.

@deceze: [webkit supports scrollbar styling](http://trac.webkit.org/export/41842/trunk/LayoutTests/scrollbars/overflow-scrollbar-combinations.html) (view in Chrome/Safari), too, although in a much better manner than IE.

In IE it will work or not

@Andy's Oh, cute. Now I can detest two browsers for messing with standard UI elements. ;)

deceze 2010-06-02 09:31:00

It is cross browser compatible, so yes, it will work.@Andy E's Head: I didn't know that.

Kyle Sevenoaks 2010-06-02 09:31:18

@Kyle whats the solution

udaya 2010-06-02 09:33:55

@udaya: Did you look at the link I gave you? That's a jQuery plugin to enable you to change the appearance of scrollbars in a cross brwoser compatible way..

Answer 2

+1 A:

You can in IE, but I think it's been deprecated (or removed in IE8).

You can also do it in Safari.

Be warned that it will affect usability negatively.

@ALEX :are you saying that some time it work wrong

udaya 2010-06-02 09:32:17

@udaya I am saying that a typical user may be confused by the scrollbar if it is a different colour than standard.
