Scroll box that you can customise

[Guest]

I am creating a website that I need some sort of scroll box for so that I can
scroll information within a window and not move the whole site up and down. I
also need to be able to change the colour of the scroll bar to that of the
site. Anybody know how I can get hold of this?

Many Thanks

Requires the you locate JavaScript scrolling text box script.

<div style="height:300px; overflow:auto;">your boat load of text here</div>

You can color this scrollbar using the IE/PC only CSS for scrollbar colors,
or you can avoid the extra effort and work on something important! 8)

In FP 2003, use inline frames (?).

You don't mention your FP version.

Thanks Murray, I am using FP2002. At the mo I have put the text in a frame
which works great its just the person who I am doing the website for wants
the scroll bar the same colour as the site. Is there any code I can put in to
change the colours?

Cheers

Did you explain to them that the effect will only be seen in IE on a PC, so
that they are paying you for a cosmetic feature that will not be seen by
everyone?

If they want to go ahead with this, then just Google "color scrollbar" and
see what you find.

Yeah I did explain and it needs to be the same colour on all. If I use the
code you pasted and change colours in CSS will that do the trick?

Yeah I did explain and it needs to be the same colour on all.

If that's the case, then you cannot do it. The colors will only show on
IE/PC.

My code will give you the scrolling area, but not the colors.
