      Yes. That link shows IE-only code that does not work in any other browser, although I think Konqueror might use some of it. There are more important things to do than this.

        ok.Using this I can change only the colors of scrollbars.But I need to change the shape too. I want to change the default rectangular toolbar to an oval shaped one.

          You can't.

          The scrollbars look and shape is defined by the window manager of the Operating System / Desktop Environment. It is not browser specific. You can't change the shape of the system scrollbars.

          You can, however, look into using Flash or even creating a javascript scrollable area. I was thinking of doing one myself, where you contain a larger div within a smaller one with overflow:hidden set. Then you can use javascript to move the larger div up or down depending on events. It's a lot more complicated than that, but the general idea is there.

          But anyway, what you're aiming for is not possible. Forget about changing the scrollbar shape.
