I am working on a Multilanguage website , where in a table one of the td needs to be arabic stuff - which we know need to start from right. I tried it in many ways but couldnt crack it . Would be really appreciated if some one could help me :( .
Here in this text , the content should start from right..
<TD><div dir="rtl">
خیز ای عشق مجرد مهر را از سر بگیر<br/>
مردم و خالی شدم ز اقرار و از انکار خود
</div></TD>
Set the
dir=rtl
attribute on thetd
element:<td dir=rtl>...</td>
. The HTML attribute should be used instead of the corresponding CSS property, since the basic writing direction is not just a presentational suggestion but something that depends on the content.You could also set it on an inner element, e.g.
<td><div dir=rtl>...</div></td>
. But e.g. code like<TD><span dir="rtl"><p>...
won’t work, sice the<p>
closes the openspan
element, so thespan
element has no content and its attributes have no effect.Added info: Also make sure that no CSS or HTML setting is overriding the desired effect. For example,
align=left
on thetr
element would set the alignment of all cells to left alignment, and thedir=rtl
attribute won’t “win” it on its own. (If there is such an attribute and you can’t remove it, set the cell alignment explicitly, usingalign=right
in HTML.)the solution is to put the dir="rtl" (direction:rtl) on the table tag not on td tag. it works fine for me
I suppose you missing alignment option.
HTML dir="rtl"
orCSS direction:rtl
is to control BiDi for the language script.But in most cases where mixing different scripts you need to add
HTML align="right"
orCSS text-align:right
which is used to control visual display alignment.Both of these are OK:

or for HTML5: (but this doesn't work always)
The code is:
