Help with Arabic page 1

DancingProgrammer · Dec 12, 2004

Hi

I am having too problems, first FireFox views my pages wich contains arabic fonts, while IE 6.0 SP2 can't show it and 6.0 (on Win98), have I declared the page wrong somewhere?

--------------
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE html
PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 STRICT//EN"
"

http://w3.org/TR/xhtml1-strict.dtd">

<html xmlns="

http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"

xml:lang="en" lang="en">
---------------

and another problem is the <ul> (list tag) how can I turn it to the other side to be right to left, the only thing I can do is text align, is there any other CSS code to switch it?

here is the page if you want to check it:

thnx in advance

Arabic language - try adding this meta tag:

Code:

<meta http-equiv="Content-Type"
   content="text/html;charset=windows-1256">

About the list problem - try this class:

Code:

<STYLE>
  .right2left {
    direction : rtl;
  }
</STYLE>

Regards

Hi

thnx very much for solving problem 2

problem 1 is my own mistake, I have encoded it to be UTF-8, so it really doesn't need to have Windows-1256, it should work, and you know what, it works

the only problem is that, when I have declared <style></style> I have for some reason retyped <style> and forgot it, so IE just hanged their reading everything after it as a style

THNX for your help

The CSS code really helped
