how can i make a text box with the scroll on the left?

<div style="direction: rtl"> text here </div> :)

that doesnt seem to work.. where should i put it?

um try this

<textarea style="direction: rtl">text here</textarea>

Modified div code if desired, should work...
<div style="direction: rtl; overflow: auto; width##px; height: ##px;"> text here </div>
(change ## to the number of px you want)

if you use CSS, you can just put

direction: rtl

under neath the body section, or whatever section you want to scroll on the left
