# Scrollbars and CSS

 * I have searched and have seen similar questions, but none that actually answer
   the question. How do I go about getting CSS to work for my scrollbars? Some people
   have referenced wp-layout.css, but I can’t figure out how my blog is even using
   this file. I really don’t think it is. Maybe I am just too stupid to see it. 
   Any help here would be great.
    This is the link to my page if you would like 
   to see it. [http://www.misty-twilight.net/index2.html](http://www.misty-twilight.net/index2.html)
   Thank you! Mici

 * Do you mean collored scroolbars? They are not recognized by the W3C and arent
   not valid CSS . You shouldn’t use them.

 * I have no idea what the W3C is, but I have been using colored and transparent
   scrollbars for years. I used them with greymatter, and then with b2 when I converted,
   but now can’t seem to get them to work with WordPress. So, if there is a way 
   to do it, I would love to know how.

 * You dont understand, the W3C is the World Wide Web Consortium, they created standards
   for all web browsers to go by. Sadly, IE breaks the rules of the standards. (
   you should switch browsers now, IE is dangerous… go to browsehappy.com to learn
   more and find what browser is good for you). Colored scrollbars are not supported
   because they are part of the browser not the webpage, and shouldn’t be controlled
   by CSS.

 * I actually use Mozilla most of the time. And don’t have problems with it. The
   only time I use IE is if I am at work or on my laptop, which I have never converted
   over.

 * Then why would you want to use colored scrollbars if your major browser doesn’t
   support them?

 * Mostly for the coding factor. I know the majority of the people who browse my
   site use IE, so I try to make my site look as good as it can for them. People
   who are using Mozilla and any other browser out there, are usually more versed
   on the world of the web, and therefore don’t care what color the scrollbars are.
   It’s mostly a challenge for me to be able to cater to all who view my site. That’s
   all.

 * (1) HIGH: Internet Explorer Drag and Drop Vulnerability
    Affected: Internet Explorer
   version 5.01, 5.5, 6.0 Description: This vulnerability in the Internet Explorer
   can be exploited to completely compromise a client system. The problem arises
   because Internet Explorer does not perform sufficient checks on the “drag and
   drop” events that move resources between the “internet” and the “local” zone.
   The proof-of-concept exploit posted publicly drops an executable in the client’s“
   startup” folder when the user drags and drops a specially crafted image on a 
   webpage. A modified version of the exploit installs an executable when the user
   drags the Internet Explorer’s scrollbar. The exploit may possibly be modified
   further such that minimal user interaction would be necessary for its successful
   execution. Note that Windows XP SP1 (fully patched) and SP2 are both vulnerable.
