Have you tried
getAttibute? Something like..document.getElementsByTagName("html")[0].getAttribute('dir')– Rakesh_Kumar Commented Mar 3, 2015 at 12:49

Reset to default 9Thanks for the reply. Here is what i Did
if (document.dir == "rtl"){
function name()
}else{
function name1()
}
Regards Mahadevan
This snippet will get data directly from html element
document.getElementsByTagName("html")[0].getAttribute("dir");
you can get this more easily from the attributes of the document Document.dir
var direction;
(document.dir !=undefined)? direction =document.dir : direction =document.getElementsByTagName("html")[0].getAttribute("dir");
if (direction=="rtl") {
//do something
}
else {
//do something else
}
