Hello all. First post here.
I've been trying for about an hour to figure out why my colored scrollbar won't work, which has led me to this forum.

My code is as follows:

<style type="text/css">
<!--
A:link
{ text-decoration: underline; color:#000000 }
A:visited
{ text-decoration: underline; color:#000000 }
A:active
{ text-decoration: underline; color:#000000 }
A:hover
{color: #FF0000; text-decoration: underline; font-weight: bold}
body
{scrollbar-3dlight-color:#FF0000;
scrollbar-arrow-color:#FF0000;
scrollbar-base-color:#000000;
scrollbar-darkshadow-color:#FF0000;
scrollbar-face-color:#000000;
scrollbar-highlight-color:#FFFFFF;
scrollbar-shadow-color:#D8D8D8}
-->
</style>
</head>

<body background="background.jpg">

<table border="0" width="100%">
=======================================
I thought maybe my <body background...> tag was negating it, but even when I removed it, still no colors. (I am viewing it with IE, by the way). I'm sure it's something simple, but I'm at wits' end right now. Any help would be greatly appreciated. (The site is http://www.lowaprcredit.com if you need to view more of my code). Thanks so much!

remove the <doctype> tag at the beginning of your page's code... Colored scrollbars are not valid coding since they only work in IE so therefor, when you specify a doctype, they don't show up regardless of what browser you use.

Yup. As I figured, it was something small, but not something I knew. Thank you SO much! Wish I would've come here long ago, but better late than never. May good fortune rain upon you.
