How to change the color of scrollbars

Question

I want to change the color of the scrollbars on my pages in Internet Explorer and Firefox.

This code creates scrollbars:

<div style="overflow: auto; width: 750px; height: 400px">   
</div>

To change their color, I tried this code:

<STYLE TYPE="text/css">

BODY
{
scrollbar-base-color: orange;
scrollbar-arrow-color: green;
scrollbar-DarkShadow-Color: blue;
}
</STYLE>

The above code is in my header, but it didn't change the scrollbars' color.

Can anyone help me?

Just as others said, the CSS you posted won't work on modern browsers (IE8, Safari, Firefox, etc). Since you're trying to scroll a div, you do, however, have the option of making a custom scrollbar in Javascript/DHTML. A quick Google search reveals a few have done just that like this one: http://www.hesido.com/web.php?page=customscrollbar
