[css-d] Direction: rtl inverting an image?

2007-12-20 Thread Anne E. Shroeder
This is too strange.  In IE5.5, some background images that are contained in 
a div defined with direction:rtl are being inverted and in some cases even 
turned inside out.  I want to know how CSS can corrupt an actual image 
file!?!

The screen caps showing the correct and incorrect image placements are here:
http://www.ddiv.com/clients/voa/final_builds_modified_110107/screencaps.htm

The file without the weird images (where code works) is here: 
http://www.ddiv.com/clients/voa/final_builds_modified_110107/test.html
And the file with the .headlineListCalloutSide text called, where the 
problem occurs, is here: 
http://www.ddiv.com/clients/voa/final_builds_modified_110107/test_problem.html

WHen this piece of CSS code is called, the images break:
.headlineListCalloutSide {
 width: 190px;
 float: left;
 margin: 10px 2px 0 0;
 padding: 0 0px 0 0;
 direction:rtl;
}

It makes no sense!?!  Am I not seeing a typo somewhere?

Right, well I've just figured out the fix - just don't know WHY it made the 
graphics behave that way. By removing
margin: 10px 2px 0 0;
from the code I mention below, the graphics right themselves.  Anyone 
encountered this strange behavior before, and is there a rational 
explanation for it?

Simply based on your screen shots alone, I'd say that the images weren't being 
turned inside out, but were instead positioned differently, and repeating. 
Since the area they were to display in was so small, you got the repeat in the 
middle of the image in that browser, and thus saw the end of one repetition and 
the beginning of the next, which made them look rather odd.

Just a guess, though.
