Viewing Text and objects direction and float objects

Text and objects direction and float objects



User: itay 10 years ago
Hi, anyone have solutions to this two things:

1. Language direction (rtl):
Writing text from right to left (like Hebrew), And also make all the website widgets build in as right to left.

2. Float object:
Make an object like text/image/shape or a section like header of footer to be float and stay in one location while scrolling down in the page.

I remember both of these issues been discussed in the forum but I can not find solutions to them .

[1] That's opening a can of worms! The manguage and direction can be switched globally by entering this into the head of the HTML doc...

<html dir="rtl" lang="ar">

... immediatley after the doc type.

Try it on a page with a widget like an audio or video player and you will see how much gets screwed up. Can you imagine how long it would take just to change the stylesheet for the mediaelement player?

More sensibly, you could use this in every text tag - h1, h2 etc, p, span, ul and so on...

<p dir="rtl">Text goes here.</p>

[2] I think you mean fixed rather than floating. You can already do this using the checkboxes in the Metrics inspector but it is limited to fixing objects relative to the left at this time.

Right to left text is something we'd like to support fully in a future version of EverWeb.
