I have searched and have seen similar questions, but none that actually answer the question. How do I go about getting CSS to work for my scrollbars? Some people have referenced wp-layout.css, but I can't figure out how my blog is even using this file. I really don't think it is. Maybe I am just too stupid to see it. Any help here would be great.
This is the link to my page if you would like to see it. http://www.misty-twilight.net/index2.html
Thank you!

Do you mean collored scroolbars? They are not recognized by the W3C and arent not valid CSS . You shouldn't use them.

I have no idea what the W3C is, but I have been using colored and transparent scrollbars for years. I used them with greymatter, and then with b2 when I converted, but now can't seem to get them to work with WordPress. So, if there is a way to do it, I would love to know how.

You dont understand, the W3C is the World Wide Web Consortium, they created standards for all web browsers to go by. Sadly, IE breaks the rules of the standards. (you should switch browsers now, IE is dangerous... go to browsehappy.com to learn more and find what browser is good for you). Colored scrollbars are not supported because they are part of the browser not the webpage, and shouldn't be controlled by CSS.

I actually use Mozilla most of the time. And don't have problems with it. The only time I use IE is if I am at work or on my laptop, which I have never converted over.

Then why would you want to use colored scrollbars if your major browser doesn't support them?

Mostly for the coding factor. I know the majority of the people who browse my site use IE, so I try to make my site look as good as it can for them. People who are using Mozilla and any other browser out there, are usually more versed on the world of the web, and therefore don't care what color the scrollbars are. It's mostly a challenge for me to be able to cater to all who view my site. That's all.

(1) HIGH: Internet Explorer Drag and Drop Vulnerability
Affected:
Internet Explorer version 5.01, 5.5, 6.0
Description: This vulnerability in the Internet Explorer can be
exploited to completely compromise a client system. The problem arises
because Internet Explorer does not perform sufficient checks on the
"drag and drop" events that move resources between the "internet" and
the "local" zone. The proof-of-concept exploit posted publicly drops an
executable in the client's "startup" folder when the user drags and
drops a specially crafted image on a webpage. A modified version of the
exploit installs an executable when the user drags the Internet
Explorer's scrollbar. The exploit may possibly be modified further such
that minimal user interaction would be necessary for its successful
execution. Note that Windows XP SP1 (fully patched) and SP2 are both
vulnerable.
