How can I view Arabic/Persian numbers in a HTML page with strict doctype?

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;
    }

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>

firefox default render number to latin for change this setting go to addressbar of Firefox and type about:config this page is advanced setting of firefox find this line "bidi.numeral" and double click on it if set value to "1" firefox for render text look at context. if text is persian render number to persian. if set value to "4" alwase render digit number to persian

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>

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>

This works for me, regardless of the text direction (in Chrome, Safari, Firefox and Opera):

<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0 Final//EN">

<html>
    <head>
        <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8">
        <style type="text/css">
            body { direction: rtl; }
        </style>
    </head>

    <body>
        ۴۲
    </body>
</html>

(Omitted the content-language since that isn’t necessary here.)

raed

var map_format_arabic = ["&\#1632;","&\#1633;","&\#1634;","&\#1635;","&\#1636;", "&\#1637;","&\#1638;","&\#1639;","&\#1640;","&\#1641;"];

$.each( $('.format_arabic'), function () {
    var n=$(this).text().replace(/\d(?=[^<>]*(<|$))/g, function($0) { return map_format_arabic[$0]});
    $(this).html(n);
});

helper

If you use persian fonts like 'BNazanin' and write :

http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8"
and http-equiv="Content-Language" content="fa" in meta tags.

You can then see the numbers in persian.

and if you use lang='En' in some tags in your html page the numbers in that tag will be displayed in english.

try this , hope helps you ;)

between and

<script language="JavaScript" type="text/javascript">


var replaceDigits = function() {
var map =
[
"&\#1632;","&\#1633;","&\#1634;","&\#1635;","&\#1636;",
"&\#1637;","&\#1638;","&\#1639;","&\#1640;","&\#1641;"
]

document.body.innerHTML =
document.body.innerHTML.replace(
/\d(?=[^<>]*(<|$))/g,
function($0) { return map[$0] }
);
}

</script>

then in end of body tag insert this :

<script type="text/javascript">
window.onload = replaceDigits
</script>
