in all browsers.

Answer 1

dir="rtl" relates to the presentation of certain languages that go from right to left. According to this http://www.i18nguy.com/markup/right-to-left.html website you should use logical characters instead of visual characters if you are wanting the same visual effect seen in the LTR view.
