I want to change the color of my scrollbars for my website. I have read numerous how to articles on this and have put the code into my websites CSS yet the scrollbar colors don't change.

I built the website with GoLive 9.0 and have the latest version of Internet explorer. Plenty of other websites do this and I can't for the life of me figure out what I'm doing wrong...probably because I'm a self taught novice at this.

My website is www.bostonturkeybowl.com

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

IT looks like your website is using IFRAMES. Read about changing the color of those scrollbars here: http://www.google.com/search?source...

Let me clarify...I want both the browser scrollbar and the iframe scrollbars to be the colors I specified in the code. From my research both are achieved by inserting the code into the pages CSS. The Iframes are changed by adding the code to the page that is linked to the iframe. I have inserted the code into all pages so I would expect all scrollbars to be the colors specified. Unfortunitely, even thought the code is there it is not working for either scrollbars.

I have also compared my code to codes of sites where this does work and it seems right. I am assuming I have a small glitch in the code that I don't know about due to not having a lot of experience in doing this.

Any help would be appreciated.

In your CSS change:
<style type="text/css" media="screen"><!--body {

to:
<style type="text/css" media="screen"><!--html {

Thank you very much that worked.

Is there a reason why I needed to make the element tag "html" versus why other people just use the "body" tag? Just want to understand the reason behind the madness.

Again, Thanks.

I have no idea. But I was unable to get it to work on my computer either without using "html".
