Hello all,

I have an unusual problem when I switch between Persian and English Language.
When I use the default language everything is okay but when I change to Persian language options in "tabs-primary" class will change in IE browser.
In Firefox options will show without padding but the happy thing is that FF could show the items and options.

Thank you for mentioning it. I tested what you said and in Bluemarine the options are shown without any problem!!

what would be the problem? why IE has this problem with Garland :(
I spend too many time customizing my site with Garland I couldn't change the theme after this much of work.

now, the question would become, have you tried it on a stock garland theme ? not the one you've altered.

if it shows properly on a stock garland theme, then the problem is in one of your changes that you made to the theme to customize it.

The problem comes from the Stock theme. I tried it. I setup a clean installation of Drupal 5.1 and the problem was not solved.

unfortunatly the title of the topic isnt going to draw too many css gurus in. I suspect its a css problem.

maybe uisng firefox and the firebug addon will help diagnose by showing you what css is being called in the problem area.

I have the Firebug installed and the CSS is "tabs Primary" which is responsible for the style but there is not just a CSS problem here because even with a clean installation Persian string in the "tabs p..." are not shown in the Ul or Li filed, this is a strange problem. I tried some other language but it's not the same, other languages doesn't have this problem there are shown correctly in both browsers in IE and FF with a proper style like the default style for English.

I thought maybe my Persian.po file cause this problem and I decide to re translate some strings from start, I translate a string which was shown in tabs primary and there was no problem but after I add the second string the problem appeared and suddenly IE mixed the boxes and couldn't show the text properly.

Here are some screen shot:

I hope someone could help me
