how to show arabic alert from left to right

Question

How to show java script alert of arabic characters/text from ltr(Left to right) format.In html we have ltr tag.

Answer 1

Here's a thread on SO that details using jQuery to reverse a string. If you already have the text in the arabic characters, you'd just need to reverse it.

Answer 2

You can't do it using the regular javascript alert()

however, you can use some custom javascript alert box (you can use HTML inside it)

some like this http://slayeroffice.com/code/custom_alert/ or http://jdstiles.com/java/jsalert.html

Answer 3

This is largely operating system dependent. Simply reversing the string is not 100% correct, since this does not render punctuation correctly.

If you need 100% locale independence in the browser, I would suggest using an HTML dialog, like jQuery UI, instead of alert().
