Apply Scrollbar Colors to Document Only, Not Any Element InsideDocument

[vunet]

IE6 has a bug: when I drag some div element which contains colored
scrollbars, it crashes. I found an article describing this:

How can I use CSS to tell to apply colored scrollbars to the page
only, not any element inside of the page such as div, iframe, etc.?

You don't. No other browser will even let you style them in the first place.

Don't mess with my browser. You can have access to the content in the
viewport, but the browser is mine.

What I meant is applying scrollbar style to html, body but not any
other element such as div in IE (IE ONLY, of course)

html,body {
scrollbar-base-color: #9999cc;
}
div {
scrollbar-base-color: ;
}

But this did not work... You got my idea, didn't you?
Thanks.

Got it, really. Scrollbars are considered part of the browser chrome,
stick to web standard and do yourself a favor. If you are looking for
constancy in MS you are in a world of hurt, only takes a quick scan of
the NG to see the evidence. Avoid proprietary properties

and save yourself some grief.

IE is a bug. Use Firefox.

As Jonathan implied, it's a non-standard proprietary thing so other
elements will probably "inherit" the attribute no matter what you do.
