site works on IE but not Netscape/Mozilla

[spike326]

Hello, I have a code, <div style="direction: rtl"></div>, which makes the horizontal scroll bar start on the right (as you can see here: http://www.bossnutrition.com/scroll.htm if you have IE). But it only works for IE not Netscape/Mozilla, is there a similar code that'll work for Netscape/Mozilla so that the horizontal scroll bar starts on the right side?

I'd recommend you check the W3C (http://www.w3c.org) to find out if what you're trying to do is part of the standards. I suspect not. At any rate, ANY time you try to do something that fails in certain browsers or ONLY WORKS in one particular browser then you're probably doing something outside the standards or your syntax is incorrect.

Is there a code for Netscape/Mozilla that makes the horizontal scroll bar start on the right side?

no. Make your code work for all browsers through alternative methods. Focus more on accessability then non-standard client side affects

What you are doing is supposed to be for text and not for fiddling with the vertical UA scrollbars.

There would be little benefit in starting a <hr /> from the right since it has no real directionality although you could use CSS to position the horizontal rule to the right-hand side of the browser page and get a similar effect.
