Seeing that you have are referring to Georg's rescue of IE. <http://www.gunlaug.no/tos/alien/iy/test_08_0330.html> You should actually be replying to him. Yes the fix works in FF, IE6, IE7. Ibrahim, what IE versions do have locally anyway? > I think you got the ???? ?? ? ?? ? ?? because your computer doesn't support > Arabic fonts, same issue applied to square things at the title (encoding) No my computer shows the script correctly, my poor saving of that script caused the sequence of ??? ???. It really doesn't matter because the Arabic script makes as much sense to me as ????. My understanding is poor since the Arabic script runs from from right to left but I can not tell if the glyphs in the words are 1234 or 4321 order. Both glyphs directions can apply to right to left text. As a guide for the future, those seeking help with pages with bidirectional text. It would help to mention which direction the glyph run. You have used a lot of text-align to arrange alignment of the script to cater for IE problems but this is what the dir="rtl" should be doing anyway. Look where the various browsers put the vertical scrollbar. > Also, what are you using to save that page? IE/win (any version) is of > > no use. > > > Sorry, I didn't get it. This question was what Georg asked me, not what I asked you. The answer is that I just copied your source code from the source in FF and pasted it into my text editor (works OK with Latin script :-). Georg would have saved it in Opera another way which preserved the script. I have a new template just coded in Notepad. > Thanks All again. > > any idea about the page center problem? > > Ibrahim Yes it is this. body { /* width:950px; DELETE */ } div.center { /* text-align: center; DELETE */ } div#wrapper { margin-right: auto; margin-left: auto; width:950px; /* ADD */ } and in the HTML. <div class="center" align="center"> Delete this class center div from the source and remove it closing tag (just before </html>). This div is automatically added by a MS authoring tool which has also added the tables for layout. I presume that you have taken over the maintenance of the site and in doing so you have inherited a page that was coded for IE (like in the year 1997). > I'm still not debugging for IE8, should I ? Don't bother fixing it for IE8. It's MS job is to fix IE8. If you have a standalone, for amusement just view Georg fix or my new template and watch some weirdness like peekaboo activity. Double click on the content text and what it jump. Hhover here or there and move small windows (100px by 100px) over various parts of the page. It shows all the symptoms of the peekaboo bug [1]. Yes it still present but just triggered differently. I attempting to correlate this with those trident rendering bands [2]. My new template shows the page content centered in all browsers apart from IE5. IE6 and IE7 are now all fixed up. The problem was this. #area { padding: 0; /* width:100%; DELETE hasLayout [3] trigger */ } <http://css-class.com/x/ndaw/index3.htm> The HTML in my template has striped the class center div and all tables from the code. The CSS embedded in the header has been largely reduced and all text-aligns have be remove from the layout divs. I have only remove a useless (table div.center text-align) IE skeleton from a already strong frame. I have also unfrozen the font size so now you can resize the text in all browsers. What Georg has done you can use now. My new template is a based that you may wish to use at a later date but before doing so you first must understand why Georg's rescue and my reconstruction are different. The former is a traditional doctype and the later is a strict doctype. Both are valid. One is coded for IE and the other is a attempt at best practices. BTW, read the last link "on having layout" over and over again until it sinks in. Isn't CSS fun!
