Colored scrollbars (IE 5.5+ only) can be achieved by redefining the body
tag using CSS. (see the links below) There is an extension available for
this at the DW exchange. [url]http://www.macromedia.com/exchange/dreamweaver/[/url]
Search for Scrollbars.

Depends on what scripting language you can work in... ASP, PHP, CF, JavaScript

Yes, ask any politician.

Search Google for what you want. It's about as good a starting place as any.

Note that redefining the BODY tag will only work when IE is rendering
in quirks mode. If you want it to work either way, you do it by
redefining the HTML tag:

<style type="text/css">
<!--
html {
scrollbar-base-color: blue;
}
-->
</style>

It's still an IE only bug, uh... feature.

You're welcome. I think your link to MS showed it on the HTML tag.

If we're talking about IE, you better buy it in 55 gallon drums. ;-)
