    There's not. Scrollbars are always at the right and bottom. Or not there at all.

    You could set the dir attribute of the body tag to dir="rtl" and the scrollbar would be placed on the left side. (Usually on arabic websites)

    Over 2500 left handed people a year are killed from using products made for right handed people.
    That should be reason enough

    Re: HTML: Scrollbars

    But given the proportion of left-handers vs right-handers, wouldn't a product made for left-handers, if used by right-handers, kill far more people?

    That's assuming that a right-handed websurfer were to unwittingly stumble upon a left-handed website. In such a case, the death of a right-hander would simply go unnoticed due to the sheer proportion of right-handers to left-handers.
