  Scrollbar colours are not actually an "actual" part of the CSS specification - they were invented by Microsoft and as such, only exist in IE.... so you can only colour your scrollbars in IE, and it's likely to stay that way forever.
  

  
  It's the other way round with blink..... only Mozilla supports that Remember the old HTML 4.01 tag <blink>...</blink> ? well it's just that, but recreated in CSS for XHTML
  

  
  So sorry about that.... there's nowt you can do about either!

  Hi Paul,
    I tried it by using css. but the attributes like 'button-color:some color..' but buttons are not changed.
  if i give the attribute like 'background:somecolor..' its reflecting the button color. why so??
  And can you tell me how can i explore the list of attributes so that i can use them in my CSS.
  

  
  Thanks for being my teacher.

  button-color? u've made that one up stuff like background-color, border, etc. should all work.
  

  
  try W3 Schools: http://www.w3schools.com/css/default.asp that's the official resource by the people who set the standards (but unfortunately they don't make browsers... idiots at both microsoft and mozilla make crap browsers that don't follow the rules properly, making web design a nightmare)
