Can You Position Div Scrollbars on the Left Hand Side?

Positioning Div Scrollbars on the Left Hand Side

Is it possible to specify a position (left or right hand side) for the vertical scrollbar on a div? This question arises when working with scrollable areas and wanting to adjust the scrollbar's placement.

To achieve this, the direction:rtl; property can be applied to the CSS of the div. This sets the direction of the content to right-to-left. However, since text is typically read from left to right, the text within the scrollable area can be reset to left-to-right using #scroll div { direction:ltr;}.

To illustrate:

<code class="css">#scroll {
    direction:rtl; 
    overflow:auto; 
    height:50px; 
    width:50px;}

#scroll div {
    direction:ltr;
}</code>

Note that this approach is untested.
