i have come up with a layout i am considering for a personal page but i'm not exactly sure how i would code some parts to it, maybe some of you guys can help....<br />
<br />
i'll try to describe as best as i can....basically the page would be one giant table 3 rows no columns..i want my first row for just my title and a drop down menu. the second row would have another table with 1 row to columns...the first column of my second row i want to be an iframe....my question is 1. how do i get my drop down menu to open links in the iframe and 2. how do i change the color of the scroll bar in the iframe and the color of my drop down menu<br />
<br />
hope that made sense and that some of you out there have answers to my questions.....thanks in advance
<br />
<br />
oh yea one more general q....lets say within the table i want specific links to adhere to a different color scheme then specified in my body tag....can i do this using css? i just want one row to have different link colors because the background is lighter then the rest of the page and the colors specified in my body tag would just clash with that one portion of the page....<!--content-->to do links to an iframe you have to use target="iframe_name_here" in the link tag.<br />
<br />
I don't believe you can color the scroll bars on a drop down as that is not controlled by the browser but by the OS.<br />
<br />
do do the scroll bars on the iframe I think it works off the same for the browser window itself.<br />
<br />
<style> <br />
body{scrollbar-3d-light-color:#FF0000;<br />
scrollbar-arrow-color:#FF0000;<br />
scrollbar-Base-color:#000000;<br />
scrollbar-track-color: #000000;<br />
scrollbar-dark-shadow-color:#330000;<br />
scrollbar-face-color:#000000;<br />
scrollbar-highlight-color:#FF0000;<br />
scrollbar-shadow-color:#990000;<br />
<br />
<br />
</style><!--content-->thanks scoutt...for the drop down menu i wasn't referring to the color of the scroll bars just the menu itself...i've seen pages where the background of the drop down menu matches the color scheme of the page itself....like this one for example:<br />
<!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="http://www.iamcal.com/network/">http://www.iamcal.com/network/</a><!-- m --><br />
<br />
does anyone know how to get make menus different colors?<!--content-->Here ya go<br />

this one will let you customise it just about any way you see fit. It will scroll both ways, you just have to confiure it to be horizontal. It will let you drop down into other frames as well. It takes a litle bit of sussing out if you are new to these things. IM me if you try this and get stuck. Oh, it will also let you have rollover graphics in them as well. Actually there isn't a single component you ca't configure, unless you can think of one.<br />
<br />

<br />
<br />
<form><br />
<select name="colortest" style="background-color: #ccccff"><br />
<option>First Choice</option><br />
<option>Second Choice</option><br />
<option>Third Choice</option><br />
</select> <br />
</form> <br />
<br />
You can also use the style to pick the font and the color of the font as well. <br />

entimp, I'm pretty sure rain22 is looking for drop-down menus rather than the heirarchical/cascading ones you linked to. Mind you, I really like Ger's cascading menus and prefer them greatly over drop-downs.<br />
<br />
rain22, one thing about that iamcal site is incredibly annoying. It appears as though every freakin' link opens in a new window. It's like "let's create a site where everyone creates their own popup."<br />
<br />
Neil<!--content-->option1...that is exactly what i was looking for...thanks so much! yea i agree about the iamcal page, major design flaw with the links opening up in a new window.<br />
<br />
how do i change the font face and color? is it the same syntax as ordinary css?<br />
<br />
thanks to everyone else for all the help/comments!<!--content-->
