What is this pseudo-element applied to?










0














Consider my css has this:



::-webkit-scrollbar 
width: 5px;
height: 5px;



What is this applied to? It's not applied to html or body. But to what?



I'm trying to style scrollbars on a component of some lib (handsontable), but it renders funny, because its JS code is reading scrollbar sizes from somewhere.



enter image description here



The css above fixes that. But then it sets scrollbar sizes everywhere in the app, which is undesirable. I'm looking for a workaround. If I do something like:



html::-webkit-scrollbar 
width: 5px;
height: 5px;



or same with any class that is a parent of the component, I'm not getting the result.

          This:



          ::-webkit-scrollbar 
          width: 5px;
          height: 5px;



          is the same as this:



          *::-webkit-scrollbar 
          width: 5px;
          height: 5px;



          So it applies to all elements.




          § 6.2. Universal
          selector



          If a universal selector represented by * is not the only component
          of a sequence of simple selectors or is immediately followed by a
          pseudo-element, then the * may be omitted and the universal
          selector's presence implied.
