I want to know were i can get the cgi that lets you make costomized scroll bars. You know the kind that are different colors and are not arrows I think they are cool and can't seem to find out how to make them.

I think its JavaScript you are looking for, not CGI script. http://www.hotscripts.com is a good place to start looking.

Dynamic Drive might have something like that as well (http://www.dynamicdrive.com).

It's JavaScript that you're looking for. And they're not too hard to write yourself (I did once, I seem to remember there's a function called "scrollby").

You can also do it like this:

<STYLE>
BODY
{scrollbar-face-color: #191919; scrollbar-shadow-color: #FF0000;
scrollbar-highlight-color: #191919; scrollbar-3dlight-color: #CC0033;
scrollbar-darkshadow-color: #191919; scrollbar-track-color: #666666;
scrollbar-arrow-color: #ffffff}
</STYLE>


If that's what I think you are trying to do.

If all you want to do is change the colors, doing it with a stylesheet is best. You don't run the risk of crashing anyone's browser as can happen javascript.

I use it (a stylesheet) on my sites and you can see it (with MSIE). With Netscape 4.7, which has very limited support for stylesheets, you won't see any difference from the default. It either works or it doesn't and won't crash if it doesn't.

If you have the choice between going for CSS or javascript I'd suggest the former. When CSS isn't supported it just dies and nothing is affected, while java and javascript can die a pretty horrible death :)

Our logs have Internet Explorer at above average at close to 90% of the browsers that see our site so CSS works for us.
