Hi guys,

I have a div with rounded corners and want to put a scroll bar inside the div. But when I use the overflow the scroll bar appears on the outside of the div so one side of the div is square.

I would really like a scrollbar like this one

http://livepipe.net/control/scrollbar

but can't seem to implement it and cant find any others like it on the web.

any suggestions would be great

thanks
 
Here's a quick example. The border radius is currently setup only for Mozilla-based browsers, but you can add to it for other browsers.
PHP: 
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/strict.dtd">
<html lang="en">
<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html;charset=UTF-8">
<title>Inner Scrollbar Example</title>
<style type="text/css">
#scroll1 {
	padding: 10px 0 10px 10px;
	width: 200px;
	height: 300px;
	background: #000;
	color: #fff;
	-moz-border-radius: 5px;
}
#scroll2 {
	width: 100%;
	height: 100%;
	background: #000;
	overflow: auto;
}
</style>
</head>
<body>
<div id="scroll1">
	<div id="scroll2">

Thanks for that, thats a great help but is there anyway of customising the actual scroll bar so that it blends in more ? What I really what is just a scroll button where you cant actually see the bar

thanks

That would require JavaScript. You would use CSS to hide the sight of the scrollbar, then use JavaScript to set the position of the hidden scrollbar. Off-hand I don't know of any implementations, but I would search on "javascript powered scrollbar" or something similar.
 
As a general statement, customizing scroll bars is an awful idea from a UI/UX standpoint. As mobile computing becomes more and more important, this is going to become more of an issue, not less.
