I adjusted the color off the scrollbar in style.css, but it only shows in the textfield when you want to write a message.
How do I get it to work in the mainpage of the guestbook?

Hello Jomar,
Scrollbar color styles are also only shown in Internet Explorer.
Also, if Internet Explorer would follow the w3c-standards correctly it would also not show the scrollbar color in the comments textarea field. The guestbook doctype is xhtml and illegal css-styles (like scrollbar styles) should not be shown at all. Unfortunately Internet Explorer does follow it's own rules.
As a workaround if you would like to show the colored scrollbar you an edit the gbook.php file.
Find lines 1063 and 1064
Code: Select all
echo '<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" xml:lang="en" lang="en">
and replace it with
Code: Select all
echo '<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN">
This replaces the xhtml doctype with the old html doctype and now Internet Explorer does correctly show it's scrollbar styles.
Greetings,
Henrie

Hello Chris98,
I have no idea what you mean by the browser sidebar. This topic is about the scrollbar, or do you mean a part of the scrollbar with it?

You could have tried Google?
But here it is
Code: Select all
body{
scrollbar-face-color: #F5F5F5;
scrollbar-face-color: #FFFFFF;
scrollbar-arrow-color: #ABABAB;
scrollbar-track-color: #FFFFFF;
scrollbar-3dlight-color: #ABABAB;
scrollbar-highlight-color: #FFFFFF;
scrollbar-shadow-color: #ABABAB;
scrollbar-darkshadow-color: #FFFFFF;
}
An image with what the different scrollbar parts are, can be found here
The blue text is in dutch, translation is:
Scrollbar-track-color
(when for "scrollbar-track-color" you enter the color value "transparent" a checkerboard of the colors "scrollbar-face-color" and "scrollbar-highlight-color" is displayed, ze scrollbar display at the right)
Greetings,
Henrie

I have already tried with Google, but I get the textarea scroll bar things instead.
You are just supposed to integrate it with the CSS, aren't you because in mine it did nothing?
Oh...wait.Could it be my browser that is stopping me from seeing it?

This has to be done in the css of the page.
And as written before in this thread it is only supported in Internet Explorer (in the past, I do not know if they still support it because it is not a css standard property).
My advice would be to not try to change the scrollbar colors.
