How do you make a side scrollbar on the left side of a page?

This is really an HTML question

<html dir="rtl">

This will render your pages right to left. This will also move the crollbar to the left, and all of your text, and text entry will be right to left as well. Kind of interesting, but unless you are making an arabic site, it's not all that useful

Well, you can do it this way

Code:

<html dir="rtl">
<body>
<div div="ltr">
{...Page HTML...}
</div>
</html>

That will give you just the left scrollbar...

Note: the DIR attribute is defined in HTML 4.0 and DOM Level 1, but isn't supported (I don't think) by IE 4 (dunno about NS)
