i have an iframe that 'may' have a scroll bar (if the content is longer than the frame size. when the content fits on the iframe, I still see on the right side(vertical scrollbar) the space where the scrollbar would be in white (the iframe is in a different color). two questions:

1) can i change that white space to match the color of the frame

2) when the content is too big,and I do show a scrollbar, how to change the color of the scrollbar?

I think you should be able to, but you will probably need to style it inside the iframe source file, not in the page that calls it. So you should put this in the head of the iframe src file:

body
{
scrollbar-face-color: #000000;
scrollbar-highlight-color: #000000;
scrollbar-3dlight-color: #000000;
scrollbar-darkshadow-color: #000000;
scrollbar-shadow-color: #000000;
scrollbar-arrow-color: #000000;
scrollbar-track-color: #000000;
}

Yes I agree with 'thedave', and it would need to be enclosed in <style> ... </style> tags in the <head> section like this:

<html>
<head>
<title>My Page</title>
<style>
body
{
scrollbar-face-color: #000000;
scrollbar-highlight-color: #000000;
scrollbar-3dlight-color: #000000;
scrollbar-darkshadow-color: #000000;
scrollbar-shadow-color: #000000;
scrollbar-arrow-color: #000000;
scrollbar-track-color: #000000;
}
</style>
</head>
<body>
Hello World!
</body>
</html>

Hope this helps!

They're pretty good on editing links out of sigs around here, so that was pretty pointless ;)Especially since the thread is about a month old...

rfung - one thing to be aware of is that scrollbar colors only work in IE. Other browsers just show normal scrollbars.

also to note, those scrollbar style only work in IE in Quirks mode. If you declare a doctype they dont work.
