How should I set scrollbar properties

BODY
{
    SCROLLBAR-FACE-COLOR: #e9e9e9;
    SCROLLBAR-HIGHLIGHT-COLOR: #1679aa;
    SCROLLBAR-SHADOW-COLOR: #1679aa;
    SCROLLBAR-DLIGHT-COLOR: #cccccc;
    SCROLLBAR-ARROW-COLOR: #1679aa;
    SCROLLBAR-TRACK-COLOR: #dee3e7;
    SCROLLBAR-DARKSHADOW-COLOR: #03276e;
}

I tried to run a web application in visual studio 2008... The above CSS file creates err. 'SCROLLBAR-FACE-COLOR not a know CSS property name' I got the err for all the scroll bar properties above... How should I proceed?

Scrollbar is not a valid CSS property. You should delete those declarations from your CSS file. Other thing is that not every browsers can interpret it. As I know only Internet Explorer and Opera can.

So just delete them :)

Don't do it. There's no point to doing this since:

  • Scrollbars are browser UI elements and you shouldn't screw with their styles as that might confuse users
  • Only IE and Opera support it and even then my guess is that newer versions are going to drop support for this as well

IMO, you shouldn't ever modify the scrollbar styles as it's intrusive and no one else really does it.

Your OS should be rendering it. In addition, it's non-standard and some browsers might not even support it.
