Nope, turns out that they don't handle that kind of thing automatically. So use this final bit of mark up (as pure as I can get it): <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Strict//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/strict.dtd";> <html lang="he"> <head> <title>Language Test</title> <meta http-equiv="content-type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8"> <style type="text/css"> body { direction: rtl; } [lang=en] { direction: ltr; } </style> </head> <body> <p>ראש חטיבת המחקר באגף המודיעין במטכ"ל, תא"ל יוסי<span lang="en">English words</span>להישגים; אלוף גדי אייזנקוט,</p> </body> </html> Add a 'class="en"' on English elements if you want it to work in IE (which I assume you do), then change the: [lang=en] { direction: ltr; } rule to: .en { direction: ltr; } Brad ______________________________________________________________________ css-discuss [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.css-discuss.org/mailman/listinfo/css-d IE7b2 testing hub -- 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/
