I answered my own question by consulting c.i.w.a.h google group archives (an
Oct 25, 2000 posting from Robert Norris).

Cheers.

My advice is, that you better rely on much newer posts.
Styling scrollbars is IE-only trick and won't work in other browsers.

Not entirely true. It /can/ work in Opera too, but as the user can (and
often will) disable feature, it can't be relied on.

Many folk would argue that the scroll bars are part of the browser and
that one shouldn't fiddle with the styling, but this argument starts to
get a little blurry when overflow:auto; scrolling divs etc start to
enter the discussion :\

As you can see, it looks quite opposite.
It's IE's extension to CSS and as default it's disabled so coder can't
rely on it.
