Here's the dilemma:

<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN"
"http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/loose.dtd">
<head>
<title>Text</title>
<link href="styles/default.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css">
</head>
<body>
<p>text</p>
</body>
</html>

And in "styles/default.css", I have this:

body {
scrollbar-face-color: #123456
// more scrollbar properties
// ...
}

But, the scrollbar doesn't work. Then I took the DOCTYPE off, and it
worked, but the body was all messed up... Could someone tell me whats
going on and a offer a possible alternative? Thanks.

I don't see it as a problem. Thankfully I use a browser that doesn't
support scrollbar styling in the first place. :-)

Do your visitors a favor and leave their browser UI alone, eh?

I don't think I've met any browser that could mess up <p>text</p>
And what size window are you using that this produces a scroll-bar?

> Could someone tell me whats

You're (a) using Internet Explorer and (b) doing something else you
haven't told us.

>and a offer a possible alternative?

Two: (1) Opera (2) Firefox.

Oh, and don't bother trying to style scrollbars.

Please leave my scroll bar alone. It is bad enough when people screw around
with my fonts and try to adjust my window sizes. On the other hand, I have
set my browser to ignore most attempts to control beyond the viewport, so I
am probably immune to your attempts here.

Since I don't want other people manipulating my scroll bar, I haven't tried
to manipulate anyone else's. I can't help you with this one. Good luck!

Carolyn
