Hi DaWebmaster,

create your text area with a div and give the div an id..

eg. <div id="txtarea" style="width: 200px; height: 200px; overflow: scroll; border: 5px dashed black; background-color: #ccc;">
This is where all the stuff goes.<br />
Add some more stuff, and instead of growing, it will have a scrollbar.This is where all the stuff goes.<br />
</div>
(the above provided by QuietDean btw )

Then in your CSS add the following:

#txtarea {scrollbar-face-color: #ffffff;
scrollbar-shadow-color: #aaaaaa;
scrollbar-highlight-color: #aaaaaa;
scrollbar-3dlight-color: #ffffff;
scrollbar-darkshadow-color: #ffffff;
scrollbar-track-color: #ffffff;
scrollbar-arrow-color: #aaaaaa;}

obviously you can choose colors of your liking!

Hope this helps,
krak_d

If you are not using an external stylesheet, then add this between your <head> </head> tags.

eg.

<head>
<style type="text/css">

</style>
</head>
