Re: scrolling text? how?

yep. You can do it with a div. Just use CSS to set the height and the overflow property:

div {
    height:200px;
    overflow: scroll;
}

Re: scrolling text? how?

I assume that the scrollbar positions for browsers in the Middle East is default to the left side.  If this is the case, you can use this css:

direction:ltr; 

rtl = right to left
ltr = left to right
