Hi Tony and fellow developers,

This is my first post which is a good place to say a big THANK YOU!! to Tony and the developers who made jqGrid.

I could not find any words about rtl (right to left text direction) support. I wonder if it is possible to use the grid with direction set to rtl?

Thanks,

Shuki

Hello Shuki,

Thanks for this post. To be a honest I do not have experience with rtl in Java Script or haw this can be achieved. I will be happy if you help me to improve this in jqGrid.

Best Regards

Tony

Hello Tony,

Thanks for your reply.

Browser support for right-to-left direction is pretty straight forward. By setting the css attribute direction of an element to rtl the element will be rendered from right to left.

If you set a table direction to rtl the columns will be rendered from right to left. If you set a div direction to rtl the div will be rendered from right to left and the vertical scroll bar will appear on the left hand side. Which is completely the natural way for the right to left languages.

What we need for the grid is to be able to set the direction of some tables and possibly some divs to rtl.

Then we could add a new attribute to the grid - direction - which will allow us to control the setting of the direction from the outset.

I will be glad for you to guide me how it is best to apply that attribute to the grid and to which elements.

Thanks,

Shuki

I would love to help test things, as I wish to use the grid with Hebrew.

Please write to me when you need my help.

Thanks,

Shuki
