Updated
These tests check whether user agents apply directional rules as described in the section about the bdo element.
To see the test, click on the link in the left-most column. To see detailed results for a single test, click on a row and look just above the table. The detailed results show the date(s) the test result was recorded, and the version of the browser tested.
Any dependencies are shown in notes above the table, and notes below the table will usually provide any additional useful information, including an explanation of why a result was marked as 'partially successful'. Where the instructions tell you to look for red characters, these characters should be clearly discernable behind the black text of the test – ignore any anti-aliasing 'glow'.

| pass | fail | partially successful |
| Links to run tests | Assertions | Gecko Firefox | Blink Chrome | Blink Opera | Webkit Safari | IE |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| bdo, dir ltr the-bdo-element-001.html |
The bdo element with dir set to ltr causes all contained text to ignore the bidirectional algorithm and displays all characters from left to right. | pass | pass | pass | pass | pass |
| bdo, dir rtl the-bdo-element-002.html |
The bdo element with dir set to rtl causes all contained text to ignore the bidirectional algorithm and displays all characters from right to left. | pass | pass | pass | pass | pass |
| bdo, no dir, rtl context the-bdo-element-003.html |
