BD used to put notes on the right for L-to-R languages and on the left for R-to-L languages. Because of a bug in Java's BIDI rendering within HTML tables, it didn't work correctly. So now, BD always puts it on the left. When we replace the viewer with a better engine, I think I'll revert it. Also, I'd suggest using a div for the notes and a div for the text with css to position it where the user wants it. BD uses tables because its handling of CSS positioning is non-existent. Then a simple check box would allow to show/hide the notes div, and if each notes link in the text is in a certain kind of element, then looping through those elements to hide them would be good too. -- DM _______________________________________________ sword-devel mailing list: [email protected] http://www.crosswire.org/mailman/listinfo/sword-devel Instructions to unsubscribe/change your settings at above page
