hey! .. i have a quick question for all of you. On my site i have an iframe and i want to change its colours to match my layout. My problem is dont use css, mainly because i was too lazy to lean it :grouch: and all the tutorials for it call require css. Does anyone know if i can do it without css and if so what is the code for it.

Thanks i am etranlly greatfull.. :bow: .. :lolol:

Apparently you can also do it with javascript, but css is much easier.

i don't believe you can change your scrollbar colors without CSS unless you use javascript.. which would be a lot more work than just using the CSS code.. you don't really have to know or understand CSS to do it, just copy and paste the code.. do you want that javascript code though? ;)

EDIT: eehee Lefty beat me :buckt:

yeah just copy paste lissa's code. Its really simple then just substitute the colours from her colour chart on html help. Ill give u the code i used for my site:

<STYLE type="text/css">

</STYLE>
so just copy paste that to your site and change the colors:)

there's a minor error in that.. use this:

<STYLE type="text/css">

</STYLE>

and put that after the <head> tag and before the </head> tag of your coding

and the color codes should have a # before them: #999999; instead of just 999999; :)

it's salomeya ;) but that's alright.

on the last one, you had:

scrollbar-track-color: ;999999

and it should've been

scrollbar-track-color: 999999;

and then of course dude128 pointed out that we both forgot the # things :lol:

since we're talking about scrollbars here and CSS and all that great nifty stuff... i tried to validate my CSS yesterday and my scrollcars errored... since everything else was right, i decided to leave it. however, when i put the character set or whatever code in my html my scrollbars don't even show up since they are not valid code or whatever... if you change the scrollbars with javascript, will that be considered valid and are there any other ways to change the scroll bars?
