<HTML DIR=rtl> is affecting my alert boxes

I have a preview popup window on my site that displays a large graphic on the main frame on the right and has a smaller frame on the left with various options to do with the graphic.

The options frame on the left sometimes has a large number of options that would cause the frame to scroll on low resolution screens. Because of this I have used the code <HTML DIR=rtl> to force the scrollbar to appear on the left so it does not appear between the two frames.

My problem is this: A handful of the links in the lefthand frame trigger alert boxes and these alert boxes are appearing back-to-front because of the rtl setting. Is there anyway to stop this from happening????

Many thanks in advance

thought I'd close this post with the solution I found.

I moved the DIR=&quot;rtl&quot; into the BODY tag and then surrounded the page contents with a <DIV DIR=&quot;ltr&quot;>
Code: 
<HTML>
<HEAD></HEAD>

<BODY DIR=rtl>
<DIV DIR=ltr>
page content
</DIV>
</BODY>
</HTML>
