Default Change the position of a text scroll bar

Hello all,

As the title suggests, I need to change the location of the text scroll bar from the right hand side of the box, to the left. Is this possible? If so how do i go about doing it?

Many thanks in advance.

May be possible with a tweak of the code, but please remember that the majority of your visitors will be right-handed and would find a scrollbar on the left awkward. The poor old left-handers are so used to being discriminated against in this way that they will have found ways to overcome the scrollbar on the right problem. You might be rocking the boat here ...

I totally agree with you, and think it's a daft idea. However, it isn't my site but a clients and we all know that they know best!

Does anyone know the tweaks necessary to make this work?

TIA

The trouble is they're not always right so I try and persuade them.
