How is this done

Hi
Can anyone tell me how to change the colour of the scroll bar of a drop
down text box like in the comments section on this page.

Hi Paul,

They are using the following:
<STYLE TYPE="text/css"><!--
BODY {
margin: 0;
padding: 0;
scrollbar-face-color: "red";
scrollbar-highlight-color: "black";
scrollbar-shadow-color: #828282;
scrollbar-3dlight-color: #808080;
scrollbar-arrow-color: "grey";
scrollbar-track-color: #828282;
scrollbar-darkshadow-color: #828280
}
--></STYLE>

It works great for the text boxes,But how can I get it to colourise the
drop down box it seems that they didn't acheave this (thats if they wanted
it to) on the web example. Does this mean it can't be done?

You can colorize almost anything using the correct CSS.

http://www.mako4css.com/CSSFAQ.htm

or

http://www.mako4css.com/cssforms.htm

or

http://dreamweaverresources.com/tutorials/styled_form.htm

(there is a Dreamweaver slant to these, but the concepts are the same)

Be aware that colorized scrollbars is an IE/PC ONLY effect - other browsers
as well as any on the Macintosh will not see this.

I still can't find how to colour that blue square with the arrow on the
right side of the select drop down box. I can see how you can colour the
text area but not that bit on the side

Paul,
The color scroll bars don't show in Firefox browsers.

Or on the Mac. Or in Opera, Thunderbird, Mozilla, Netscape, Lynx, Mosaic,
etc.
