How to change scroll bar position with CSS?

Question

Is there any way to change position of scroll bar from left to right or from bottom to top with CSS ?

Answer 1

Using CSS only:

Right/Left Flippiing: Working Fiddle

.Container
{
    height: 200px;
    overflow-x: auto;
}
.Content
{
    height: 300px;
}

.Flipped
{
    direction: rtl;
}
.Content
{
    direction: ltr;
}

Top/Bottom Flipping: Working Fiddle

.Container
{
    width: 200px;
    overflow-y: auto;
}
.Content
{
    width: 300px;
}

.Flipped, .Flipped .Content
{
    transform:rotateX(180deg);
    -ms-transform:rotateX(180deg); /* IE 9 */
    -webkit-transform:rotateX(180deg); /* Safari and Chrome */
}

Try this out. Hope this helps

<div id="single" dir="rtl">
    <div class="common">Single</div>
</div>

<div id="both" dir="ltr">
    <div class="common">Both</div>
</div>



#single, #both{
    width: 100px;
    height: 100px;
    overflow: auto;
    margin: 0 auto;
    border: 1px solid gray;
}


.common{
    height: 150px;
    width: 150px;
}

Here is another way, by rotating element with the scrollbar for 180deg, wrapping it's content into another element, and rotating that wrapper for -180deg. Check the snippet below

div {
  display: inline-block;
  width: 100px;
  height: 100px;
  border: 2px solid black;
  margin: 15px;
}
#vertical {
  direction: rtl;
  overflow-y: scroll;
  overflow-x: hidden;
  background: gold;
}
#vertical p {
  direction: ltr;
  margin-bottom: 0;
}
#horizontal {
  direction: rtl;
  transform: rotate(180deg);
  overflow-y: hidden;
  overflow-x: scroll;
  background: tomato;
  padding-top: 30px;
}
#horizontal span {
  direction: ltr;
  display: inline-block;
  transform: rotate(-180deg);
}

<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/2.1.1/jquery.min.js"></script>
<div id=vertical>
  <p>content
    <br>content
    <br>content
    <br>content
    <br>content
    <br>content
    <br>content
    <br>content
    <br>content
    <br>content
    <br>content
    <br>content
    <br>content</p>
</div>
<div id=horizontal><span> content_content_content_content_content_content_content_content_content_content_content_content_content_content</span>
</div>
