Remarks
In Windows Internet Explorer 8 the -ms-scrollbar-track-color attribute is an extension to CSS, and can be used as a synonym for scrollbar-track-color in IE8 Standards Mode.
The track is the element of a scroll bar on which the scroll box can slide either up and down or left and right. The scroll box is the rectangular box within a scroll bar that can be moved either up and down or left and right on a track to change the position of the content on the screen.
This property applies to elements that display a scroll bar. CSS enables scrolling on all objects through the overflow property.
