is it possible to have an rtl frameset?

eyal.herlin

hi,
i have the following demo code:
<html>
<head>
</head>
<frameset cols="30%,*">
<frame src="">
</frame>
<frame src="">
</frame>
</frameset>
</html>

this would render as a 30% frame on the left and the rest in the right
frame.
my question is wether it is possible to use an html or css directive
to make this frameset render from right to left (so the 30% frame is
on the right).
i tried using dir="rtl" and direction:rtl but to no avail.

thanks alot in advance,
eyal.

Which was what? Surely the obvious, instead of:

<frameset cols="30%,*">

reverse the widths to:

<frameset cols="*,30%">

Or am I missing something?

you are missing nothing Osmo. i was trying to find out if there was a
way to tell the entire frameset to be rendered from right to left. it
seems this is not possible which leaves me with your answer as the
solution (which i tried to avoid).

Don't use frames in the first place!

i tried using dir="rtl" and direction:rtl but to no avail.

Don't abuse text direction for frames!

Or even in the second. :-)

Don't abuse text direction for frames!

The dir attribute doesn't mean "text direction". It sets the writing
direction of directionally neutral text - not text in general - _and_
- horizontal layout direction of blocks
- horizontal layout direction of table columns
- direction of horizontal overflow
- default value for the align attribute
- alignment of last line in blocks with align="justify".

It was not at all unnatural - just mistaken - to expect that it might affect
the horizontal layout direction of frames. The expectation was not met
because the frame thing in HTML specs (and browsers) wasn't designed
logically.
