These tests check whether user agents apply basic directionality when the dir attribute is used.
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'.

| ltr context, rtl table the-dir-attribute-003.html |
[Exploratory] When dir='rtl' is added to a table in a ltr context, (a) directional runs in a table are ordered right-to-left, (b) columns run right-to-left, (c) text is right-aligned within cells, and (d) the table is left-aligned on the page. | pass | pass | pass | pass | pass | pass |
