change the scrollbar color in a listbox

Greetings,

Is it possible to change the color of the scrollbars in a listbox in a
browser? I have seen many references to:

document.body.style.scrollbarFaceColor="colorname"
document.body.style.scrollbarArrowColor="colorname"
document.body.style.scrollbarTrackColor="colorname"
document.body.style.scrollbarShadowColor="colorname"
document.body.style.scrollbarHighlightColor="colorname"
document.body.style.scrollbar3dlightColor="colorname"
document.body.style.scrollbarDarkshadowColor="colorname"

This does not work. Is it yet a standard? Was it only around for IE5.5+
then deprecated? I dont want to change the browser scrollbars just the
scrollbars in a listbox within a browser. See the page
nflhallofshame.com/database.aspx. I want the listbox to match the color
scheme.

Any help would be appr.

Steve

hi, here is a good post on the matter:
http://www.ozzu.com/ftopic64883.html

quote:

Support for scrollbar colour properties will be spotty at best. According to
the W3C, "These properties are illegal: they are neither defined in any CSS
specification nor are they marked as proprietary (by prefixing them with
"-vendor-")." Until your post, I actually thought they were IE-only; I
didn't realise Firefox supported them at all.

hope this helps
tim
