http://www.w3.org/Bugs/Public/show_bug.cgi?id=10821 --- Comment #10 from Aryeh Gregor <Simetrical+w3cbug@gmail.com> 2010-10-19 16:44:57 UTC --- No, because maybe the user explicitly set the direction in a way that contradicts the Unicode bidi rules. For instance, if the overall page direction is LTR and I type something in a field in RTL, that will be displayed LTR as I type it, which is weird if there's punctuation at the beginning or end: Logical: HEBREW! Correct display: !WERBEH Actual display: WERBEH! Thus I might use a keyboard shortcut like Ctrl-Shift-X in Firefox to switch direction. (Although that actually seems to do something other than simply set dir="rtl" -- it looks more like it sets dir="rtl" only for paragraphs containing an RTL character, or something.) This is information that could be useful to scripts, e.g., so that when the value is later output it can be given the correct direction, a la bug 10809. -- Configure bugmail: http://www.w3.org/Bugs/Public/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are the QA contact for the bug.
