I'm not sure how this isn't controlling the scrollbar. Scrollbars are an interface that represent and allow to control which part of an element is rendered. The `-ms-scrollbar-*` properties would control the actual scrollbar, but you generally would not refer to some UI control in order to manipulate concepts they are an interface to. You would not have a property `volume-slider: 100%` for `volume: 100%`. And if this was to work with overflow:hidden, say because you have some touch UI or because you don't actually want the user to scroll, then it becomes confusing to set `scrollbar-*` properties, since there is none. And which scrollbar anyway, considering there can be more than one. -- Björn Höhrmann · mailto:bjoern@hoehrmann.de · http://bjoern.hoehrmann.de Am Badedeich 7 · Telefon: +49(0)160/4415681 · http://www.bjoernsworld.de 25899 Dagebüll · PGP Pub.
