HTML-CSS: Custom scrollbar

HTML-CSS : Exercise-20 with Solution

Using HTML, CSS customizes the scrollbar style for elements with scrollable overflow.

Use ::-webkit-scrollbar to style the scrollbar element.
Use ::-webkit-scrollbar-track to style the scrollbar track (the background of the scrollbar).
Use ::-webkit-scrollbar-thumb to style the scrollbar thumb (the draggable element).
Note: Scrollbar styling doesn't appear to be on any standards track. This technique only works on WebKit-based browsers.

HTML Code:

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
  <meta charset="utf-8">
  <meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width">
  <title>Using HTML, CSS customizes the scrollbar style for elements with scrollable overflow</title>
</head>
<body>
<div class="w3rcontainer">
<div class="custom-scrollbar">
  <p>
    Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet consectetur adipisicing elit.<br />
    Iure id exercitationem nulla qui repellat laborum vitae, <br />
    molestias tempora velit natus. Quas, assumenda nisi. <br />
    Quisquam enim qui iure, consequatur velit sit?
  </p>
</div>
</div>
</body>
</html>

CSS Code:

<style> 
.w3rcontainer{
   border: 1px solid #cccfdb;
   border-radius: 2px;
}
.custom-scrollbar {
  height: 70px;
  overflow-y: scroll;
}

.custom-scrollbar::-webkit-scrollbar {
  width: 8px;
}

.custom-scrollbar::-webkit-scrollbar-track {
  background: #1E3F20;
  border-radius: 12px;
}

.custom-scrollbar::-webkit-scrollbar-thumb {
  background: #CC7856;
  border-radius: 12px;
}
</style>

HTML-CSS: Tips of the Day

What is the difference between id and class in CSS, and when should I use them?

Example:

#header_id {font-color:#fff} .header_class {font-color:#000}

(Note that CSS uses the prefix # for IDs and . for Classes.)

However color was an HTML 4.01 <font> tag attribute deprecated in HTML 5. In CSS there is no "font-color", the style is color so the above should read:

Example:

#header_id {color:#fff} .header_class {color:#000}

The text would be white.
