I have an HTML page that is right-to-left. When I don't use any doctype, my numbers are in Arabic/Persian, but when I use strict mode they turn to English.
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0 Final//EN">
Before adding doctype:
After adding doctype:
also I added these meta tags to my page:
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8" />
<meta http-equiv="Content-Language" content="fa" />
So how can I view Arabic numbers in a page with strict doctype (in IE because Firefox doesn't show Arabic numbers anyway)?

here is a little javascript code that converts a 1234 string to ١٢٣٤ string
var map =
[
"&\#1632;","&\#1633;","&\#1634;","&\#1635;","&\#1636;",
"&\#1637;","&\#1638;","&\#1639;","&\#1640;","&\#1641;"
];
function getArabicNumbers(str)
{
var newStr = "";
str = String(str);
for(i=0; i<str.length; i++)
{
newStr += map[parseInt(str.charAt(i))];
}
return newStr;
}
You can convert English digits to Persian digits using this JavaScript code in your template:
<script type="text/javascript">
var replaceDigits = function() {
var map = ["&\#1776;","&\#1777;","&\#1778;","&\#1779;","&\#1780;","&\#1781;","&\#1782;","&\#1783;","&\#1784;","&\#1785;"]
document.body.innerHTML = document.body.innerHTML.replace(/\d(?=[^<>]*(<|$))/g, function($0) { return map[$0]});
}
window.onload = replaceDigits;
</script>
In case you need to replace some English to Arabic numerals and not the whole HTML, pass the number you need to this function.
function toArabicNumeral(en) {
return ("" + en).replace(/[0-9]/g, function(t) {
return "٠١٢٣٤٥٦٧٨٩".slice(+t, +t+1);
});
}
Assuming you want an XHTML 1.0 Strict document:
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN"
"http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" xml:lang="fa" lang="fa" dir="rtl">
<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8" />
<title>Title here</title>
</head>
<body>
<p>Text here</p>
</body>
</html>
Here's an equivalent HTML 4.01 Strict document:
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01//EN"
"http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/strict.dtd">
<html lang="fa" dir="rtl">
<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8">
<title>Title here</title>
</head>
<body>
<p>Text here</p>
</body>
</html>
Here's an equivalent HTML5 page, just for comparison purposes.
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="fa" dir="rtl">
<head>
<meta charset="UTF-8" />
<title>Title here</title>
</head>
<body>
<p>Text here</p>
</body>
</html>
It is very simple to view Arabic/Persian numbers in a HTML page.
I solved the same problem by changing the font name,
In my case I want to display the same character to all users
you can choose a font that contains Arabic-Hndi digits and import it using the css ( @font-face ) then simply use it,
This works fine for all major browsers (IE .. Firefox .. Chrome)
look at this result
here is the full code of the page:
<html>
<head>
</head>
<body>
<style type="text/css">
@font-face {
font-family: ArabicTwo_Bold;
src: url( ArabicTwo_Bold.eot);
}
@font-face {
font-family: ArabicTwo_Bold;
src: url( ArabicTwo_Bold.ttf);
}
div , input {
font-family: ArabicTwo_Bold;
}
</style>
<input type='text' value='هذا نص هندي 123456 ' />
<div> هذا نص هندي 123456 </div>
</body>
</html>
