[thelist] Direction of Text

[Syed Zeeshan Haider]

Hi Joshua and Paulo,
"dir='rtl'" only aligns the text to the right side of the page in IE
5.5. Actually, I am trying to add a language, Urdu, in my web page,
which is written from right to left. Please help with something other.
Thank you,
Syed Zeeshan Haider.

Check out the dir attribute of the HTML tag.  I think the syntax is
dir="rtl" or dir="ltr"

I think it will work for you:

<div style="direction: 'rtl';">Text written from right to left</div>

Hello Experts,
How can I change the direction of the text on a web page? By default it
is "left to right". I want to change it to "right to left". Do I have
anything to do with DOCTYPE or META Data for this purpose?
Thank you,
Syed Zeeshan Haider.
