Hebrew Browser Tests
The following are test pages that verify
correct bidi handling of HTML and CSS.
- Standard Hebrew
text. This page contains plain Hebrew text. The HTML
header "<HTML lang=he dir=rtl>" specifies
that the language is Hebrew and the base direction of the
document is right to left. See the bidi logical order in
action. Try changing the size of the window; Changing the
size of the font; Cutting and pasting to your word
processor and other applications. Check the page title in
the windows title bar, in the browser backward and
forward references and in the bookmarks. The scroll bar
moves to the left hand side of the window. The charset is
ISO-8859-8-i.
- Hebrew with Niqud (points).
This page contains Hebrew text with Niqud (points). It is
chapter 1 of the book of Obadia. Try various fonts and
sizes. Check the page title in the windows title bar, in
the browser backward and forward references and in the
bookmarks. The charset is Windows-1255.
- HTML 4 "Bidi"
attributes in action. Clicking "Switch"
dynamically changes the dir attribute - the base
direction - of the page from RTL to LTR and back.
- Frame test 1. Neutral frameset and frames
with different encodings.
- Frame test 2. RTL frameset and frames
with different encodings.
- Color test. Does a
change of attributes confuse the bidi processing?
