View Full Version : Switching scrollbar to left side.

I found it on the CSS page, and the code works fine, except ... I don't really want EVERYthing on the page aligned opposite, just the scroll bar.
So how do I get the text back over on the left side, and still have the scrollbar over there too?
Thanks, here's my coding:

<style type="text/css">

.title1 { font-size: 10pt; color: #3B3044; line-height: 10pt; font-family: century gothic, arial, helvetica; text-align: justify; font-weight: bold }
.text1 { font-size: 8pt; color: #3B3044; line-height: 12pt; font-family: century gothic, arial, helvetica; text-align: justify }

body { direction: rtl }
</style>

Okay, I just realized I've got the text aligned justified, so I switched it to left, and it's fine now.
But can I have both? Somehow? Left aligned and justified?
Thanks again, for any help

Oh whoa I just realized that it switched all my periods at the end of lines to the beginning ??
I uploaded the page: see what I mean (http://www.bold-blue-circles.net/laura/home.html)
How can I fix that? (sorry, never done this scrollbar switch.)

quoted from lissa's site:

direction:rtl; [this reverses the entire site so the scrollbar is on the left]

so it's just what the code does, nothing to do about it.

Just put this before all your content
<div style="direction:ltl;">
lalala
</div>

and it should re-reverse the content.

There's got to be something you can do to fix it.
Thanks starlet, but it didn't work.

See I've got it to align on the left side like I wanted, the only thing is it's moving the last character from the line to the beginning.

Like this:
I might get some of those.
Changes to:
.I might get some of those

See the period is going to the beginning of the line. It's doing the same to spaces as well.

<div style="direction:ltr;">
lalala
</div>

Small typo, try that :)

This works the best, and works in browsers that don't support strict CSS...at least in myn experience!

<html dir="rtl">

that would be the html tag at the top of the document, transgendered...hope this helps!
