Issue with Chrome - Scroll bar colour on div

Hi Everyone,

I’m putting a site together for a friend of mine. One of the things that he asked for is a text box with vertical scrolling. I realize that this is a style that most web designers typically avoid but he’s the client…

The problem I’m having is that in Google Chrome the scroll bar colour looks awful. I have found a tutorial on changing the scroll bar colour in Safari however it did not work as it should and the scroll tab ended up blending into the scroll bar making the tab invisible…

If you want to check out the site you can with this link:

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Only a few browsers allow the web page to change the scroll bar colours and even in those browsers it can be turned off.

The only way to get the scrollbar to always look the way you want is to hide the regular scrollbar and create your own as a part of the page.

Thanks fengall,

I was afraid that might be the answer…
