I cannot use it with a keyboard. Why display a lot of text when you don't offer enough space for it? What is so bad about a text field that expands to the bottom with the text? As you cannot know the size of the visible browser area you cannot assume where the text has to show and how high it has to be do be readable for your visitors. > Whereas I can skin the scrollbars in IE, it is - as we all know - > impossible to so for Mozilla.

There is no CSS way to customise scrollbars - apart from the non standard MSIE selectors you mentioned which colour a scrollbar but don't replace it. > I really don't want to stray away from the default (system) > scrollbars and go into something JavaScript based. Good plan. Why design it that way then? At least an IFRAME would be navigable via keyboard. DIVS with constraints and overflow auto are only workable with a mouse. You can also jump to anchors in a real frame, in a simulated one you cannot do that. Also be aware that a scrollbar is a very complex widget: - you can use it with a mouse - you can use it with a keyboard - you can click anywhere on the scrollbar background to move there - the size of the slider indicates how much text there is will your custom scrollbars be able to do that? If you want a total control scroll widget use flash or use an IFRAME. -- Chris Heilmann Blog: http://www.wait-till-i.com Writing: http://icant.co.uk/ Binaries: http://www.onlinetools.org/ ______________________________________________________________________ css-discuss [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.css-discuss.org/mailman/listinfo/css-d List wiki/FAQ -- http://css-discuss.incutio.com/ Supported by evolt.org -- http://www.evolt.org/help_support_evolt/
