Please see this spec concerning the direction of horizontal overflow with bidirection. <http://www.w3.org/TR/CSS21/visuren.html#direction> #This property specifies the base writing direction of #blocks and the direction of embeddings and overrides #(see 'unicode-bidi') for the Unicode bidirectional #algorithm. In addition, it specifies the direction #of table column layout, the direction of horizontal #overflow, and the position of an incomplete last #line in a block in case of 'text-align: justify'. -- Alan http://css-class.com/ Armies Cannot Stop An Idea Whose Time Has Come. - Victor Hugo
