BDO.dir (Property)

The direction attribute of the <<BDO>> HTML tag.

Availability:

JScript - 5.0
Internet Explorer - 5.0
Property/method value type:String primitive
JavaScript syntax:IEmyBDO.dir

The dir property may be set to indicate a left to right or right to left parsing direction.

This is part of the localization support and represents the contents of the DIR="..." tag attribute.

If you assign a value to this property it is case-sensitive and must be either "ltr" or "rtl".

This property works in conjunction with the lang property to control the direction of text flow.
