85343 - Hebrew is backwards in some option lists

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 82849

(Core :: Layout: Text and Fonts, defect)

Description

[Sagie Maoz]

Some option lists (<SELECT>) in some pages written in Visual Hebrew still has
the hebrew written backwards.
In the page at http://www2.iol.co.il/tv/index.html the "From" list has Hebrew
text as the selected option, and the text is written backwards. This is weird,
because in the same page, another list with hebrew text, but those are normal
(perhaps because they're created via javascript?).

Also, I do not understand why the page keeps refreshing in Mozilla.

Marking this as a duplicate of bug 82849

The repeated page refreshing should be opened as a separate bug. I'm not a
javascript expert, but this function looks very suspicious to me: 

function UpdateBoxManyT(types,form_name)
{
  var box = document.forms[form_name].elements['Channel'];
  box.options.length = 0;
  for (var t = 0; t < types.length; t++)
    if (types[t].selected)
      for (var j = 0; j < optArrT[types[t].value].length; j++)
        box.options[box.options.length] = optArrT[types[t].value][j];
  if (navigator.userAgent.indexOf('MSIE') == -1)
    history.go(0);
}
