How can I customize the scrollbar in Textarea?

Dear experts,<br />
<br />
I placed a text area in my page.<br />
I just donot want to use the traditional scroll bar in it.<br />
<br />
Can I place images in the scroll bar?<br />
Or I plan to use a image like the one having a top arrow,a slider and a down arrow.<br />
<br />
How can I simulate the functionalities of the scrollbar and map those functions to this image?<br />
<br />
Please help me in this regard.<br />
<br />
Thanks in advance<br />

Latha <br />
to answer yor question, no. all you can do is what coot suggested.<br />
<br />
you can't do anything as it is a textarea, but if you made a div box and placed overflow in it and used some javascript, you can use any scrollbar images you want.<!--content-->
