I've been told there is a side scroll bar in the shoutbox window. It looks fine in IE6, but on an eMac running IE5.1 at school, I get the side scroll bar also.

How can I fix this?

[xhtmlcoder]

Yes, you'll get that since you are using Micro$oft proprietary CSS for the scrollbars hence Mozilla and basically any other non-M$ browser will just display the standard scrollbars without those pale white colours.

I'm not referring to the colors, but the size of the input boxes. Is there any way I can use a percentage or pixel setting for the width of the input box?

[jofa]

Well, your html looks like this...
<INPUT class=editbox title="Your Name" onfocus=clearText(this) maxLength=30 size=22 name=nick>

Just add this to voiceit/shoutbox.css:
.editbox
{
...
width: 100px;
}
or whatever you want

Alright I've fixed that, now take a look here (on Mozilla):

Why is the last input box not using the CSS? It is the same as the other two inputs...using class=button.

Change

.button
{
background : EEEEEE;
border : 1 solid C0C0C0;
color : 777777;
font-family : Verdana, Tahoma, Arial;
font-size : 9px;
font-weight : bold;
}

to

.button
{
background : #EEEEEE;
border : #c0c0c0 1px solid;
color : #777777;
font-family : Verdana, Tahoma, Arial;
font-size : 9px;
font-weight : bold;
}

Jofa, you da man. Thanks

One last question, does Mozilla not support custom scrollbars?

[Travis]

No it is M$ proprietary CSS that is not apart of the W3C standard. Mozilla is a standards-based browser.

Yep, and that's why style="background:ff0000;" only give you a red bg colour in IE
Mozilla requires that you specify either style="background:#ff0000;" or style="background-color:ff0000;"
IE is more "forgiving"
