You know those scroll bars in Internet Explorer? I’ve been to several websites that have changed the appearance of them. How do I do this? Is it using Flash or something else?

It is done with CSS. Put this code in between the head tags of your HTML file.

```php

<STYLE TYPE="text/css">
<!--
body {
scrollbar-base-color: #FFFFFF ;
scrollbar-highlight-color: #000000 ;
scrollbar-3d-light-color: #FFFFFF ;
scrollbar-arrow-color: #000000 ;
scrollbar-darkshadow-color: #FFFFFF ;
scrollbar-face-color: #FFFFFF ;
scrollbar-shadow-color: #000000 ;
scrollbar-track-color: #FFFFFFF ; 
}
-->
</STYLE>

```

Edit the values to see what changes what on the bar.

Thanks alot! I first saw it on your site, and when i went to other sites, i noticed the same thing, then wondered if you used flash to do that. Thanks again!

No problem.

It only works in IE 5.5+, but it is just an added treat, it serves no true functionality, so why not use it 🙂
