That is an interesting question. I never really thought about the logistic of building web pages with text going in thew opposite direction. I don't know if you have read this but I just found this link that seems to have some interesting suggestions regarding this subject: http://forums.xisto.com/no_longer_exists/

To use right to left languages you must add to your html documents the following:

 

<html lang="lang_iso_code"  dir="text_dir"><head><meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=text_charset">

Where:

lang_iso_code is the language iso code for example for United Arab Emirates you use ae, for Saudi Arabia you use sa, and so on.

text_charset is the encoding of the document for your case -arabic- you use iso-8859-6-i

text_dir is the direction of your text, for your case you use rtl (for rigth to left), you can use also ltr(left to right) for other languages like english, spanish, etc.

Best regards,
