tips and tricks for movable type

Is it possible to apply stylesheet attributes to the scrollbar generated by a dropdown box? I only seem to get it on the browser and on textareas.

I would also like to change the highlight color from Windows blue to something else.

Dd

I don't think that's available yet, just changing things like background-color or color.

<select style="background-color: red; color: white;">

when you customize the scrollbar, how can you get rid of that right-sided color such as on a whitebackground..you see a black strip of line on the very edge of the window. how can i have that blank so all you see are 2 scroll arrows and no tracker whatsoever.

yep that will do the trick !

I just started doing weblog. I understood the use of scrollbar colors, but it for some reason , it only applied to comment box scroll bar. how do i get it to apply to the main window scroll bars, etc?

thanks!

hmm... perhaps a small example of that could help? :-D Where do I place the HTML class in: in the CSS, in main index, or ....? Thanks girlie.

How do you get rid of the scrollbar at the side?

To get rid of the scrollcar at the side use:
style="overflow: hidden"

or style block

BODY {
overflow: hidden;
}

or scripting...

document.body.style.overflow="hidden";

The easiest way I've found to make colored scrollbars is to add scrollbar-base-color: #color; to your body tag. Whatever color you use it just uses for everything and makes a nice scrollbar for you. Check it out, it's super easy.

If you are trying to achieve 100% CSS validation, this is not possible with this scrollbar snippet.

Not for nothing, it's a great idea, and I will be using it, however, I am going to see if there is a way to get 100% valid CSS and still use the scrollbar.

Hi, I am trying to create two tables, side-by-side, in the middle of a .cfml page. The table on the right is too wide to fit comfortably into the page, so I am trying to use scrollbars to slide it into the first table, from right to left. I have looked at all sorts of possible solutions, including

Thanks kindly in advance,

can you eliminate the horizontal scroll bar only, keeping a vertical scroll bar. asked another way, can you insert a verticle scroll bar only?

Yes:

overflow-x: hidden;

or vertical:

overflow-y: hidden;

;-)

Excellent! Thanks.

Is it possible through CSS to remove scrollbars so that they are not displayed even if page content cannot fit into the window? This can be done using html body tag scroll="no", but it only works in IE. That is why I need to do it with CSS for cross-browser support.

Thank you in advance

Oh I just found the solution (sory for taking your time) All that is needed is to put a style tag in the body tag like this:

style="overflow:hidden"

Yeah, sorry to backtrack about 9 months, but when it comes to drop down menus, you would be better creating a "pop-up" division (as in you position it above the trigger using z-index and then hide it using visibility:hidden) which can contain pseudo-menu items which change as you mouseover them. This way you can pretty much have any type of menu you like: background images, font/size/weight changes, semi-transparent menus etc.

kiddanger and Rob, I love you!!! I've been looking all day for this info! If I wasn't married already I'd propose to both of you.
