Boxes offset to the left and right are either visible or hidden in RTL. What changes is the direction of overflow and what side (left or right) that a viewport can be scrolled. Boxes with offset values that are auto (the computed value is right: auto) are positioned to the right in RTL. <http://css-class.com/test/css/bidi/visible-overflow-containing-block-ltr-ap-left.htm> I believe Gecko follows the spec and handles all 8 test case correctly. IE8 and IE9 likewise (apart from a bug not relating to offset and overflow). Opera 10.62 has improved vastly on Opera 10.50 and now follows more closely Gecko's behavior. Safari 4 is the same as Safari 5. Clip must work back to front in RTL, just like overflow, float and offset does now. -- Alan http://css-class.com/ Armies Cannot Stop An Idea Whose Time Has Come. - Victor Hugo
