CSS-d, On the following web site, I have a menu written in Japanese: http://nihongode.jp
The text is a <ul> list, where each <li> item is constrained to a width of 1em. This forces each character to break to the next line, giving the appearance of veritcal orientation. It almost works perfectly. Most of the text obeys the constraint. However, some text items, such as punctuation and certain half size Japanese characters, break out of the vertical flow and follow a left-to-right orientation. I've included a thin red border around the text to make the problem more clear. Even if you don't read Japanese (not expecting you do, or assuming you don't), you can easily see that the three dot ellipses clearly break towards the right. Although the site validates, I've only tested it in FireFox, and it almost certainly won't work in IE6. So I've provided the following screen shot in case what I'm describing shows up differently on other people's browsers: http://nihongode.jp/Screenshot.png Does anyone know why some characters are exceptional in how they display as compared to the other characters in a case like this? And is there a way I can use CSS to more strictly impose a vertical layout on the text? Thank you for any advice. -- Dave M G CSSed Zend Studio 5.5 Photoshop 7 (Wine) Inkscape, GIMP, Ubuntu 7.04 ______________________________________________________________________ css-discuss [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.css-discuss.org/mailman/listinfo/css-d IE7 information -- http://css-discuss.incutio.com/?page=IE7 List wiki/FAQ -- http://css-discuss.incutio.com/ Supported by evolt.org -- http://www.evolt.org/help_support_evolt/
