Div Scrollbar - Any way to style it?

Question

Is there anyway to control the styling of the scrollbars of a div tag? I am experiencing some contrast issues between IE7 and FireFox 3.5.2. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

There's also the iScroll project which allows you to style the scrollbars plus get it to work with touch devices. http://cubiq.org/iscroll-4

/* Turn on a 13x13 scrollbar */
::-webkit-scrollbar {
    width: 10px;
    height: 13px;
}

::-webkit-scrollbar-button:vertical {
    background-color: silver;
    border: 1px solid gray;
}

/* Turn on single button up on top, and down on bottom */
::-webkit-scrollbar-button:start:decrement,
::-webkit-scrollbar-button:end:increment {
    display: block;
}

/* Turn off the down area up on top, and up area on bottom */
::-webkit-scrollbar-button:vertical:start:increment,
::-webkit-scrollbar-button:vertical:end:decrement {
    display: none;
}

/* Place The scroll down button at the bottom */
::-webkit-scrollbar-button:vertical:increment {
    display: none;
}

/* Place The scroll up button at the up */
::-webkit-scrollbar-button:vertical:decrement {
    display: none;
}

/* Place The scroll down button at the bottom */
::-webkit-scrollbar-button:horizontal:increment {
    display: none;
}

/* Place The scroll up button at the up */
::-webkit-scrollbar-button:horizontal:decrement {
    display: none;
}

::-webkit-scrollbar-track:vertical {
    background-color: blue;
    border: 1px dashed pink;
}

/* Top area above thumb and below up button */
::-webkit-scrollbar-track-piece:vertical:start {
    border: 0px;
}

/* Bottom area below thumb and down button */
::-webkit-scrollbar-track-piece:vertical:end {
    border: 0px;
}

/* Track below and above */
::-webkit-scrollbar-track-piece {
    background-color: silver;
}

/* The thumb itself */
::-webkit-scrollbar-thumb:vertical {
    height: 50px;
    background-color: gray;
}

/* The thumb itself */
::-webkit-scrollbar-thumb:horizontal {
    height: 50px;
    background-color: gray;
}

/* Corner */
::-webkit-scrollbar-corner:vertical {
    background-color: black;
}

/* Resizer */
::-webkit-scrollbar-resizer:vertical {
    background-color: gray;
}
