RTL content and browser chrome: Test results for Safari

The reaction of Safari is the same for all the  four test (dir=rtl in the body, html or head elements, and then only in the button element).

• Safari, does not reverse the order of graphic elements in the dialog boxes.
• Safari display the message in RTL! (shame on the others). The text W3C appears at the right of the Arabic text.
• The scroll bar is at the right of the window. (IMHO, IE7 is wrong about this. The scroll bar should be at the right of the window if the whole UI, menu etc., is in Arabic or Hebrew.)

The column for Safari 2.0.1 on Mac OS X V10.4.2 should be green :-).

Here are the three images collected for alert(), confirm()   and prompt() functions. Same images along the four tests.

Note: I've done the test with the  message in Arabic. I find it more instructive. The comma belong to Arabic, so it follows the Arabic text at the left, before "W3C". (نشاط التدويل، W3C).

In Hebrew, you can't decide if the comme belong to "W3C" part, or the Hebrew part of the text. (פעילות הבינאום, W3C). Ok, the space comes after the comma...

Here are the images of dialog boxes from   your test page.
