You have to declare the page as left to right in the in the code. Change your <html> to: <html dir="rtl" lang ="he" > You also need to make the encoding UTF-8 _____________________________ If it ain't broke..... fix it until it is.

No catches?-) I pulled a Hebrew right to left page in to EW, used UTF-8 and the <html> line I gave you and there it was, happily tying the wrong way round. Worked for me. Didn't understand a word of it. If UTF-8 doesn't have the desired effect for the characters try UTF-16. _____________________________ If it ain't broke..... fix it until it is.

For example, with win forms, you have to change the "language" attributes with contorls, and then there'd be the 'inherit' stuff, and hebrew forms would mirror english ones. Then with ASP.Net you'd have a tree of files, sele ctable by the thread's UI culture, and you'd have to set that based on the user's language preferences in the browser or something. And there's that issue with resources and resource manager and whatever. Can't be that simple .. Avi (in reply to jaybee)

Type it all back to front then use CSS Backwards to turn it all the right way round. Who says web devs are thick. _____________________________ If it ain't broke..... fix it until it is.
