Align SELECT-OPTIONS text to right

Question

These are the screen shots of the form I am developing.

Answer 1

You can try this to keep the arrow of the select option on the right side:

select {
    text-align-last: right;
}

option {
    direction: rtl;
}

Answer 2

Try this : Demo http://jsfiddle.net/4RSGu/2/

  <select dir="rtl">
    <option value="0" selected="selected" style="text-align: right;" dir="rtl">EqualsTo</option>
    <option value="1" dir="rtl">LessThan</option>
    <option value="2" dir="rtl">GreaterThan</option>
    <option value="3" dir="rtl">LessThanEqualsTo</option>
    <option value="4" dir="rtl">GreaterThanEqualsTo</option>
    <option value="5" dir="rtl">Between</option>
</select>

Answer 3

Try this CSS:

select{
   direction: rtl;
}

Answer 4

I could do it just with CSS alone.

select {
    width: auto;
    -webkit-appearance: none;
    -moz-appearance: none;
    padding: 2px 2px 2px 2px;
    border: none;
    background: transparent url(../images/dropdown.png) no-repeat 161px center;
    background-position-x: 98%;
}

select::-ms-expand {
    display: none;
}

<select id="mySelect" dir="rtl">
    <option value="0" selected="selected" >EqualsTo</option>
    <option value="1">LessThan</option>
    <option value="2">GreaterThan</option>
    <option value="3">LessThanEqualsTo</option>
    <option value="4">GreaterThanEqualsTo</option>
    <option value="5">Between</option>
</select>

JS

function InitializeSelect(elem) {
    $("#" + elem).each(function () {
        $(this).wrap('<div class="selectbox"/>');
        $(this).after("<span class='selecttext'></span><span class='select-arrow'></span>");
        var val = $(this).children("option:selected").text();
        $(this).next(".selecttext").text(val);
        $(this).change(function () {
           var val = $(this).children("option:selected").text();
           $(this).next(".selecttext").text(val);
       });
       var selectId = $(this).attr('id');
          if (selectId !== undefined) {
           var linkClass = selectId;
       }
       if (linkClass) {
           $(this).parent('.selectbox').addClass(linkClass);
       }
   });
}

$(document).ready(function(){
    InitializeSelect('mySelect');
});
