I was looking at the IBHebrew forums just now. It got me dizzy since everything is backwards. :D Check it out yourself.

Of course, Hebrew is written right to left (rtl) or backwards.

Back when you had a tablet, chisel, and a hammer, that was how you wrote Hebrew. The process of writing it right to left continues til this very day.


This is also true with many other languages.



If you are using Internet Explorer, you can override the "direction" of the text manualy on that page (ONLY works with certain character encoding sets, such as Hebrew).

To do this, click View in the menu bar, highlight Encoding, then choose either "Right-To-Left Document" or "Left-To-Right Document".

For a shortcut, Right-Click, highlight Encoding, then choose either "Right-To-Left Document" or "Left-To-Right Document".



Original:
[doHTML]<table border="1">
<tr>
<td>100</td>
<td>200</td>
<td>300</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>400</td>
<td>500</td>
<td>600</td>
</tr>
</table>[/doHTML]

HTML:
Code: HTML
 
<table border="1">
<tr>
<td>100</td>
<td>200</td>
<td>300</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>400</td>
<td>500</td>
<td>600</td>
</tr>
</table>





Backwards (right to left) table:
[doHTML]<table border="1" dir="rtl">
<tr>
<td>100</td>
<td>200</td>
<td>300</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>400</td>
<td>500</td>
<td>600</td>
</tr>
</table>[/doHTML]

HTML:
Code: HTML
 
<table border="1" dir="rtl">
<tr>
<td>100</td>
<td>200</td>
<td>300</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>400</td>
<td>500</td>
<td>600</td>
</tr>
</table>


Note the addition of dir="rtl", this defines the table to use the right to left direction (i.e. backwards for us).

yeah it is. Also it's right to left because hebrew is generally from germany, and that's on the other side of the world. Everything is baclwards over there, EVERYTHING!
