Is this possible? I seem to remember seeing it on a few sites. Is there a script that can enable this? Just wondering becuase I was messing around in Google and typed in elgoog and Googles homepage came up, but all in reverse (mirrored), so the scroll bar was on the left. |

okay, you can do this in several tags like <textarea> or <body>
<body dir="rtl">
rtl means right to left and will not only move the scroll bar to the left, but move all your text and other items to the right (in a mirror fashion, but he words are not backwords). With some clever <div> tags you can get the text on the left along with the scroll bar. |

Yeah, I was surfing around alltooflat.com's site (that made elgooG mirror), and found this-
<BODY dir=rtl>
<DIV dir=ltr>
...
</DIV>
</BODY>
same as what you said, but what is the <DIV dir=ltr> part mean? is it so the rest of the page is normal?> |

| the <div dir=ltr> part is Left-To-Right. Like I was stating earlier, if you put the <body dir=rtl> then not only is your toolbar on the left side, but your website text and images are basically right justified. Putting the content of your site in a <div dir=ltr> will keep the scroll bar on the left but also keep your content left justified. |

| It seems that the DIV tags doon't really do much of anything though when I mess around with them. So i looked at the elgooG code, but its to jumbled up for me to really get anything out of it. Tried searching, but couldnt even find another page with a left handed scroll bar :(...are there some other tags that i could use to make all the conent right justified (or mmiddle, or whereever they used to be...) |

people may not look for it though....
I know it is being novel and fun and all - but unless I had read the thread I would never have looked....
maybe a good compromise between fun and use - maybe to have scrollbars on both sides ??
but I dont know if this is possible - probably not

LOL, not many people ever go to my site, so I mainly use it for a testing page. But that double scroll bar thing sounds cool, maybe someone knows if it really is possible
**A few minutes later**
I was talkin to a friend, and he said that its not possible with just HTML, but possible in JS, is this a possiblility?
**Another Update**
I found some CSS to use, but it still moves some of the content...
<style type="text/css">
body
{
direction:rtl;
}
</style> |

I've been doing some searchin on Google for a long time, and I don't really think that having two scrollbars is impossible, but not very feasible i think. So, if someone could help me sort out the problem that get created when you put the scrollbar on the left, it would be greatly appreciated. Dayve said something along the lines of adding some DIV's...
Oh God, I'm a retard ....sometimes, you just need to take a minute and look at your code  . When I looked I had this-
<body>
<body dir="rtl">
<div dir="ltr">
</div>
**HTML for page here**
</body>
this was in the body tags....like it was supposed to be...i forgot that you need to have the </div> tag after all of your code
so now its like this
<body>
<body dir="rtl">
<div dir="ltr">
**HTML code here**
</div>
</body>
lol, ill really remember to read over my code whenever i have a problem from now on i think 
Works like a charm now: Look at it here |
