Problem getting body and Font style working on CSS

[CrystalPC]

I set up a CSS with body borders, when I put in the css/text link hover, the color of the scrollbars do not show. Is there a way to set up Body style, and .hover text together in the same sheet and make them work?

I am thoroughly confused by your question as it seems you sre. How does the hover for links have anything to do with scroll bars?

Got a link?

I don't understand the problem fully. The body tag would be editted like so:

body {
attributes here
}

and :hover is associated with "a" (link tags):

a:hover {
attributes here
}

Please clarify your problem.


EDIT: I put a.hover instead of a:hover, thanks nkaisare

You probably mean
a:hover

a.hover will refer to any link with class "hover" (<a class="hover" ...>)
a:hover will refer to hover-state of a link; i.e. when you bring your pointing device (usually a mouse) on top of the link.

One of the possible reasons might be that you have made an error in your hover style such as not closing the right brace or leaving a comment open. As a result, the remaining styles are not read by the browser.

Changing scrollbar colors is not a valid CSS; its proprietary IE style. Also, these differently styled scrollbars may look nice in Win2K, but suck in WinXP, for the default WinXP scrollbars are way cooler.

I couldn't agree more, and add to that the lack of cross-browser compatability when trying to use customized scrollbars with CSS--they may look fine in IE, but likely not in Mozilla, Opera, Safari...
