<title>CSS Writing Modes Test: computed 'direction' of root element when 'writing-mode' for &lt;body&gt; propagates to viewport</title>
<link rel="author" title="GĂ©rard Talbot" href="http://www.gtalbot.org/BrowserBugsSection/css21testsuite/">
<!--
Issue 3066: [css-writing-modes] Does vertical writing mode of an HTML body
element cause an orthogonal flow?
-->
<meta name="assert" content="When the root element has a &lt;body&gt; child element, then the principal writing mode is instead taken from the values of 'writing-mode' and 'direction' on such first child element instead of taken from the root element. In this test, a small script verifies that the computed value of 'direction' of the root element itself is not affected by such propagation.">
<!--
This test *only* verifies the computed value of 'direction' of the
root element.
This test does *not* verify if the 'writing-mode' value of
the body element propagates to the root element.
