CSS Scrollbar-color and DOCTYPE

[thesoundguy]

Does anyone know if it is possible to use any DOCTYPE's with the CSS Scrollbar-color effect for IE? I currently use XHTML 1.0 and it does not allow any adjustments to CSS scrollbar-color.

Any information would greatly be appreciative.

If you're using an XHTML doctype, the colored scrollbar doesn't work when you set it on the body tag. You can set it on the html tag, though, or use a wildcard:

html { 
styles here 
}

or:

* { 
styles here 
}

Of course, it'll never validate as CSS - the scroll-bar properties are IE only.

Well, scrollbar color is not official, so it won't validate with any doctype.

Besides, if the user wants that, they will install a browser skin/theme.
