Hello,

How can I change the textarea dir to rtl (writing in hebrew)

I've tried adding dir=rtl to:

<textarea name="textarea" cols="80" rows="15" id="myTextarea">

but it's not working.
I guess I need to find the Iframe of the RTE window, but I got lost in all these lines of code...

Thanks!

Try changing line 125 of the file RTE_javascript.asp from:-

iframeContent += '<body leftmargin="1" topmargin="1" marginwidth="1" marginheight="1" class="RTEtextarea">\n';

To:-

iframeContent += '<body leftmargin="1" topmargin="1" marginwidth="1" marginheight="1" class="RTEtextarea" dir="rtl">\n';

I've not had chance to test this but it should work.

There is, make sure you are running the latest version of Web Wiz Rich Text Editor version 3.0

Or are you referring to Web Wiz Forums? (if so you have posted in the wrong forum and the page will be RTE_textbox.asp)

you are right. I have a hebre system with the forum.

for some reason I cant fins the line you have mention but I see I changed the code for this:

<body dir=ltr bgcolor="<% = strIETextBoxColour %>" class="text" leftmargin="0" topmargin="0" marginwidth="0" marginheight="0"<% If RTEenabled = "Gecko" Then Response.Write(" onLoad=""setTimeout('enableDesignMode()', 20);""") %>>

I dont why, but maybe this is the reason that sometimes the words are written in the opposite direction
