Hi,

I want to put my vertical scrollbar to the left of my iframe but I don't know if it is possible ... can someone help me please.

Thanks

I suppose you could put a leeeeeeetle thin frame on the left with a reeeeely tall GIF image. That would include a scrollbar for that piece. Then, whenever you change the scrollbar, have that change affect the vertical position of the right-side frame (which takes up the other 95% of the screen). If you do it all in percentages, it'll look very cool. And not in a sucky-way cool, but in a smooth operation way cool. Except no one expects scroll bars on the left, so they'll be confused and attack each other with antelope jawbones. But that's not your concern. [smile]

It's not actually placing a scrollbar on the left, but it's sorta' simulating it.

Cheers,

I'm trying to do the same thing. On page there is a scrollbar on the left, but nothing in the source that deals with scrollbar positioning, so it must be in the CSS-stylesheet.

If no-one knows how it's done, I'll just try to do something in the lines what EdwardMarinIII suggested, as that will most likely work on all browsers?

Thanks!

Code: 
<body bgcolor=#4855b8 [b]style="direction:rtl;"[/b]>
The part in bold is used to shift scrollbar to the left. However, from user usabilty that is not recommended. I did not even see the scrollbar on the left side because I didn't expect it there.
