Huh? <html style="direction:ltr">.

Comment 2 2011-03-07 12:05:54 PST
Meaning, that is not a right-to-left page (direction doesn’t propagate from <body> if it’s explicitly set on <html>).

i don't know which is correct but using the old URL (with <html style="direction:ltr"> but RTL body), FF showed a horizontal scrollbar while WebKit did not.

(In reply to comment #8) > i don't know which is correct but using the old URL (with <html style="direction:ltr"> but RTL body), FF showed a horizontal scrollbar while WebKit did not. The direction propagation in Webkit (when dir is set in root) is different from that in Firefox. In Webkit "Direction and writing-mode should propagate from the <body> to the <html> to the ICB as long as the <html> hasn't explicitly set the direction or writing-mode." (from dhyatt), while Firefox always propagate the direction from the <body> to the initial containing block even if the <html> has explicitly set the direction. Please refer to description and comment #9 in bug 48157.
