ThirdRoute

Here's how to get completely native-looking scrollbars on the left side of an element---not the right. It came up as a question on Stack Overflow, so, I decided to tackle it. After two hours of cursing IE's box model, the jQuery plugin got done. It provides completely native looking scrollbars on the left via a nifty, yet nasty, hack. Some people have reported setting the text-direction to RTL, and then flipping the text back works. But frankly, it doesn't work in many browsers (like Chrome and Firefox). That's why I've made this plugin.

direction:rtl;  /* Right To left */ 
text-align:left; /* Override direction */

Features:

• Supports padding.
• Degrades beautifully.
• No extra HTML markup or CSS on your part.
• Works in IE. That's worth mentioning, eh?

Sit tight! Still working on the site…
