Ok, on the site it says that the code for positioning the scrollbar on the left is direction:rtl;
I've tried many variations of this and it has yet to work. So, where exactly do you put it in the stylesheet, and is this the way you write it?

Here is how i'm writing it. correct me if i'm wrong:

<STYLE type=text/css>

direction:ltr;

</STYLE>

your css should look like this


<STYLE type="text/css">
<!--
BODY
{
direction:rtl;
scrollbar-arrow-color: #000000;
scrollbar-track-color: #000000;
scrollbar-face-color: #000000;
scrollbar-highlight-color: #000000;
scrollbar-3dlight-color: #000000;
scrollbar-darkshadow-color: #000000;
scrollbar-shadow-color: #000000;
}
-->
</STYLE>

<!--
BODY
{
direction:ltr;

SCROLLBAR-FACE-COLOR: #000000;
SCROLLBAR-HIGHLIGHT-COLOR: #000000;
SCROLLBAR-SHADOW-COLOR: #000000;
SCROLLBAR-ARROW-COLOR: #000000;
SCROLLBAR-TRACK-COLOR: #000000;
SCROLLBAR-BASE-COLOR: #000000;

It should be rtl, not ltr. ltr is the normal scrollbar position

Is there a way to make it so the scrollbar is on the left but the rest of the page is algined normal? Whenever i try the above my page goes all wonkey :(

Shove this right after the <body> tag

<div style="direction:ltr;">
all content
</div>

that should fix it up :)
