I agree, and that's why it took me so long to find the issue. FWIW, I'm impressed with Opera on this one... --- Regards, Thierry | www.TJKDesign.com *** List Guidelines: http://webstandardsgroup.org/mail/guidelines.cfm Unsubscribe: http://webstandardsgroup.org/join/unsubscribe.cfm Help: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ***

I'm using it for the right purpose.
I just found the issue and put something together:
http://www.tjkdesign.com/test/whitespace_and_rtl_direction.asp
I was going in circles with this, AFAIK, this issue is not documented at
all.

Can you publish some minimal test cases to demonstrate the issue and
explain what you're attempting to use the dir attribute for?
It sounds like you may be trying to use it for presentational purposes,
though it's designed for semantic purposes when using right-to-left
languages. If so, you may be able to achieve the effect using the
'direction' and 'unicode-bidi' properties.

[WSG] Lists and DIR=RTL
I have two Unordered Lists:
- one contains text in A elements (Text)
- one contains image in A elements ()
CSS:
li {display:inline}
How come the display of the two is *different* (regarding orientation) when
I use "RTL" with the DIR attribute?
I can get both showing RTL using "display:table-cell" (not in IE though
where I'd go with float) but that's not what I am after as I want both lists
centered and "liquid".
