I have a requirement to change css from did scrollbars. I know it is possible doing so for IE, Safari, Chrome but as far as I researched for Firefox it was not possible.
I wondering if it is currently available (such a basic studip feature right?) for Firefox without using third party implementation
thanks
Unfortunately, as of this writing there's no way to use CSS to customize Firefox scrollbars.

I'm working on responsive webpage creation and I need to create a piece of CSS that would apply only in Safari(All devices), CSS properties for height working finr in Chrome. I need CSS hack only for safari. Please, could anyone give in some ideas?
Have you considered using java script to detect the browser and based on it applying styles?
Safari does not allow padding even if applied as !important. You can see this here.
I was wondering if anyone has found a work around for this?
Note: I am not looking for plug-ins, as the site is much too complex for them so that they do not meet my needs.
Warmth.
I believe Webkit browsers (Safari and Chrome) use the OS's native controls rather than rendering menus themselves, so CSS doesn't apply to them. If you want more control in a cross-browser fashion, use a plugin like Select2
I've got a fancy css neon effect on a navigation. This works perfectly on any major browser except on IE < version 10.
The problem is that there is no text shown on IE 8+9.
I have no Idea where to start with a fix so I would be very grateful for every tip.
It doesn't need to be working with IE8, IE9+ would be fine.
The effect can be found on the page http://www.arch-on.ch/team/philosophie/
Many thanks in advance for any helpful input
CSS property text-shadow is not supported by either browser (IE8, IE9) and box-shadow is only supported by IE9
You best solution is just not to have the glow effect in those early browsers and give users of those browsers a warning that the site looks better in a modern updated browser.
To achieve what you want in those browsers you would have to create transparent png images and swap them out on :hover. But this because real messy (especially when you have to keep adding new text or change text) and is not efficient.
Do not create more work for yourself with something that just applies to aesthetics.
Try Quirksmode for before: and after: content: http://quirksmode.org/css/user-interface/content.html
There is also a plugin called CSS3Pie that "makes Internet Explorer 6-9 capable of rendering several of the most useful CSS3 decoration features". Maybe implementing this is okay for you. http://css3pie.com/
Otherwise you have to avoid using CSS3 if you want to go down to IE8. Check this chart for browser compatibility of CSS3 statements:

I am getting this display in IE 7
I am getting this display in Firefox:
for the following code
Could anybody point me, What I should do to make the IE Display simalar to Firefox and also, How Do I make the Size should be same for all the headings?
Internet Explorer does not support gradients, shadows, nor border-radius properties. border-radius is supported in IE9, but this won't be of much help!
You can look into CSS3 Pie, which uses IE-specific .htc files to achieve almost the same effect.
For now, if you really need to be fully compatible with all IE's (and other browsers for that matter) I'd use an image. It's not very nice but at least you can rest assured that it will always work ;-)
Rounded corners and drop shadow aren't going to work in IE7 without a lot of clever image tricks. You can't fix it through CSS alone.
Alternatively you could probably find a JavaScript plugin which would create these effects for you if you don't mind taking that route (see curvy corners for example).
Is possible to change scrollbars' style for all browsers? If it is, how?
It is possible in Internet Explorer using a number of non-standard scrollbar-* CSS properties. See this page for a handy generator tool.
Other than that, it is possible only using custom JavaScript-powered scrollbar solutions. The jScrollPane jQuery plugin looks very nice and easy to install. Here is an example page.
Styling and programming scrollbars are not addressed by standards at this time, but some vendors have extensions to address this problem in desktop web browsers. The jScrollPane jQuery plugin is an excellent choice if you want to use custom scrollbars.
Vendor Extensions
Internet Explorer (starting with version 8) has extensions to CSS and the DOM allowing you to specify color only of the different parts of a scrollbar.
An updated link to the Microsoft documentation is this: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ff974092(v=VS.85).aspx. You'll want to just look at all the properties starting with "-ms-scrollbar".
WebKit (e.g. Safari and Chrome) has a CSS pseudo-element for styling scrollbars which allows you to apply any CSS property to it. To learn more see this Surfin' Safari blog post: http://webkit.org/blog/363/styling-scrollbars/
Example:
::-webkit-scrollbar
{
width: 13px;
height: 13px;
}
Mozilla (e.g. Firefox) and Opera do not seem to have any support for styling scrollbars.
Custom Scrollbars
Regarding the jScrollPane jQuery plugin is an excellent choice, if you want custom scrollbars. It is pretty comprehensive in addressing expected functionality of scrollbars and keeps you from rolling your own.
It is important to realize jScrollPane replaces the browser's native scrollbars, and you might not find the "touch and responsiveness" of those custom scrollbars to be as good as "the real thing." But then again, it might be good enough if you value form over function.
This is a more recent link to the jScrollPane documentation: http://jscrollpane.kelvinluck.com/
Nope. IE allows you to set colours for some constituent parts of the scrollbar. Opera allows a few but not all of those styles.
Scrollbar colour styling is of increasing irrelevance as UIs move towards complex image-based scrollbar theming. In IE, setting any of the colours reverts the rendering back to a Windows 2000-style simple-3D scrollbar instead of any swishy user theme. Windows Vista/7 (Aero) users probably won't thank you for that.
You can of course make your own ersatz-scrollbars out of <div>s and style them how you like. But the result almost always behaves worse than real scrollbars, since you're trying to replicate a complex UI element whose expected behaviour is different for each OS. You can spend a lot of time reproducing paging behaviour, keyboard up/down and the mouse wheel, but it'll never quite feel as smooth a real OS scrollbar.
You can style scrollbars for all browsers with a little bit of Javascript. But at present time there is no way to style them using just CSS alone as a cross-browser solution.
