Right to left direction,

Using Persian language on Iranian websites , we have to change the page direction to right to left usng tags like this :

<div dir=rtl>

or even

<html dir=rtl>

but RTL ( right to left ) direction does not work on the ActiveWidgets grid properly. ( test it ) what is the soloution ?!

I was trying to make right-to-left working with the grid but without success. So far there is no solution.

I have problem with right to left direction for ActiveWidgets grid

With the current version right-to-left is not supported. I will keep it as requirement for version 2.0

Hi,
Is right-to-left supported now ?? I worked on for sometime but didn't succeed.
Thank you so much.

Fuad jan,

Add this style to your right-to-left column:

text-align: right; direction:rtl;

It shows the UTF-8 data (in this case Persian text) correctly but there is a problem when user wants to change header witdh of the rtl column, the right border of the header is not available to grab.

After posting the example I see that the Unicode text is messed up. It is supposed to be unicode data, so replace that.

For those who dont have any unicode language setup on ther pc , copy paste come text from this site: http://www.irangreenpen.org/ to myData[]
