Don't ask me why, but it's fixed once I change header.thtml's
Text Formatted Code
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/loose.dtd">

back to the way it was until v1.4.1:
Text Formatted Code
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN">


Interestingly enough, this site (as well as the demo site) use the old line for some reason, so there's no problem here. I say what's good for the goose...

I very much doubt this simple DTD change would cause the LTR/RTL handling to break. Or if it did, it's your browser's fault.

The old DTD line caused browsers to render HTML in "quirks" (compatibility) mode, while the new one causes them to render them in "standard" (compliant) mode. I fail to see why that would change anything in the LTR/RTL handling.

bye, Dirk

Well, I'm using IE v6/XP - not exactly uncommon - and that added line (which, again, your own sites lack) just disables RTL, I don't know why.
