How to change the cursor direction?

thelordoftherings · Aug 19, 2004

Hello,

1. How to set that when entering a text box the cursor will start from right to left instead of the default left to right?

2. How to set the text at <TD> to start from right to left instead of the default left to right?

By the way, the align attribute doesn't work here, I've tried it already...

Have you tried the [tt]text-align[/tt] style property?

[tt]<td style="text-align: right;">stuff</td>[/tt]

and

[tt]<input type="text" name="tb1" style="text-align: right;" value="">[/tt]

The bartender asks, "Are you aware that you have a steering wheel down your pants?"
The pirate replies, "Arrrrr! It's driving me nuts!

This does it for me in IE:

Code:

<html>
<body>
	<form>
		<input type="text" dir="rtl">
	</form>
</body>
</html>

Hope this helps,
Dan
