Does anyone know the script that reverses the links to read from right to left on hover? Thanks.

Not sure why one would want to do that, but here you go:

<script type="text/javascript">
String.prototype.reverseText = function() {
return this.split('').reverse().join('');
}
onload = function () {
for (i=0; i<document.links.length; i++) {
document.links[i].onmouseover = function() {
this.firstChild.data = this.firstChild.data.reverseText();
}
document.links[i].onmouseout = function() {
this.firstChild.data = this.firstChild.data.reverseText();
}
}
}
</script>
