How to move the arrow in a select element to the left?

Hi,

I`m building a website that will be presented in rtl(right to left) language.

I need to have a select box with the arrow of the drop down list on the left instead of the default where it`s on the right.

How can I do it?

Thanks

anybody?

I want to have the select html element look like this:

V select_name
option1
option2...

Instead of the normal markup:

select_name V
option1
option2...

Where V denotes the arrow next to the select element.

Thanks
