The Hebrew Wiktionary uses MediaWiki v1.7alpha (r14541). When an article has a table with the float style property all text (besides the titles) is moved to the opposite float direction. I have translated a page to English in order to demonstrate this phenomenon: http://he.wiktionary.org/wiki/%D7%9E%D7%A9%D7%AA%D7%9E%D7%A9:%D7%92%D7%99%D7%90/FFBug Since the Hebrew Wiktionary is RTL, the table (which is actually a translated templated) is floated to the left. As a result, the text appears out of its boundaries and overrides the menus. Using <div style="float: right;"> right after the table, in order to float the text, solves the problem in a minority of the cases (if the article contains a picture, for example, the problem persists). If we clear the float using "clear: both" the text stays within its boundaries but appears below the floated table, and this is now what we need. It should be noted that this and similar tables are working on the Hebrew Wikipedia, which uses the exact same MediaWiki version. Because of that, it is not clear why the problem occurrs. As the summary suggests, the problem does not appear on IE. I would appreciate any input. Scarlight
No one cares? This makes the Hebrew Wiktionary unreadable for FireFox users because almost all articles contain a floated table.
1) Report the bug to Mozilla at http://bugzilla.mozilla.org/ 2) Consider a different layout for the tables until a fix to Mozilla comes some time in the next several years.
Thank you for the reply. What different layout do you suggest? I can't understand why it doesn't happen with the exact same table in the Hebrew Wikipedia. What does it have that Wiktionary doesn't?
Hmm. I may have solved it, but I'm still having troubles with the images. Is there a way to change the CSS properties of the [[Image:]] tag?
