While coding a wordpress theme, I used CSS RESET present in stakers theme. Then on body tag I set overflow:hidden.
I was expecting .post class to inherit it but wide images overflowed into sidebar. I had to again add overflow:hidden for .post class.
This seemed strange to me.
Actually I develop many wordpress themes for clients and I always thought setting "overflow:hidden" on body will prevent all child elements from being overflowed.
Just want to know if my conception about CSS inheritance is wrong in some way?
overflow is only relavant to the object it is styling, and will not cascade like say font would. For example, what if you set overflow:scroll to the body or html tag... then every block object below it would have a X and Y scrollbar attached!
Is it possible to change the look of the scroll in overflow, ie color, size etc ?.... i just wonderd :o
of the actual scrollbar? yes, in FF - IE is a different matter... the best way to do it is with Javascript, then you can make the scroll bar look how you want it to.

Oh ok...so how would i go about chaning it in css/html....or is it just done with javascript ?
I think this is for IE - I cant remember - I steer well clear of customising scrollbars with CSS, because it normally looks crap and wont be cross browser.

Thanks for your answer Rob. :-)
I seriously had this misconception that everything in CSS cascades (inherits). :o

body { scrollbar-face-color: #317B9C;scrollbar-track-color: #87B4C9;
scrollbar-arrow-color: #54A1C4;
scrollbar-3dlight-color: #B8D7E6;
scrollbar-shadow-color: #1E6180;
scrollbar-highlight-color: #7CBCDA;
scrollbar-darkshadow-color: #1E6180}
I would recomend using something like this...
