I have the following in the body part of my css file:

body
{ font-family: verdana, arial, helvetica, sans-serif;
font-size: 10px;
color: #999999;
margin-left: 0px;
margin-top: 0px;
margin-right: 0px;
margin-bottom: 0px;
scrollbar-base-color: #364580;
scrollbar-arrow-color: #364580;
scrollbar-highlight-color: #FFFFFF;
scrollbar-face-color: #9DBEDF;
scrollbar-shadow-color: #364580;
scrollbar-3dlight-color: #364580;
scrollbar-track-color: #B2B2B2;
scrollbar-darkshadow-color: #364580;
}

however w3c is saying it does not validate as valid css - does anyone know why, or how to overcome this? Its not vital we have it it's just a nice touch I think and would be interested to know why it doesn't validate. Thank you

This does not validate against the WC3 because the scrollbar properties you are styling are proprietary Microsoft attributes. They are not standards so they don't validate against the standards checker, and will only appear in Internet Explorer.

This is non-critical, but you can also set the margin properties in one declaration using any of the following formats:

Code:

margin: top right left bottom;
(e.g. margin: 10px 12px 4px 3px;)

margin: top left/right bottom;
(e.g. margin:10px 4px 10px;)

margin: top/bottom left/right;
(e.g. margin: 10px 4px;)

margin: all;
(e.g. margin: 0px;)

Since all your margins are set to the same value, the last format would work best for you.

Thanks, kjmatthews. I had the similar problem and was looking for a solution too.
