iframe custom scrollbar color

[vayumahesh]

I have an iframe with scrolling as 'auto' so the scrollbar appears automatically depending on the content. I have a custom scrollbar for the iframe using the following CSS.

BODY
{
SCROLLBAR-FACE-COLOR: #AEAEAE;
SCROLLBAR-HIGHLIGHT-COLOR: #000000;
SCROLLBAR-SHADOW-COLOR: #000000;
SCROLLBAR-3DLIGHT-COLOR: #000000;
SCROLLBAR-ARROW-COLOR: #ffffff;
SCROLLBAR-TRACK-COLOR: #000000;
SCROLLBAR-DARKSHADOW-COLOR: #000000;
}

The custom scrollbar works great for the iframe when there is content spanning more than the height of the iframe in Internet Explorer. But it does not work in firefox. Also, there is one more issue in IE. When the content is less than the height of the iframe, the custom scroll bar does not appear but rather a place holder for the scroll bar (even if I set scrolling to 'yes', same issue). I am OK with the place holder but I would like the background color for the scrollbar placeholder to be black instead of the default white. How do I fix these issues ? Thanks for any help.

The custom scrollbars are IE specific, so they won't be custom in Firefox/Chrome/Safari/Opera/...

I am not aware of any way to adjust the color of the scrollbar placeholder.

Opera actually does have an option you can turn on so it recognises the custom IE scrollbar colours so it is possible in Opera if you can convince people to turn it on in that browser.

You are more likely to find people turning it off in IE than turning it on in Opera. I have it off in all browsers on my computer.
