This test makes sure that the direction is set correctly for a textarea whose value is set dynamically by script. We use text-align:left because neither the dir="auto" nor the unicode-bidi:plaintext specification states whether text-align:start and text-align:end should obey the paragraph direction or the direction property in a unicode-bidi:plaintext element. </div> <div id="test" class="test"> <script> window.onload = function() { var test = document.getElementById('test'); var textareas = test.getElementsByTagName('textarea'); for (var i = 0; i != textareas.length; i++) { textareas[i].value = '@123!\n'; } } </script> <div dir="ltr"> <textarea rows="2" dir="auto"> ‏ </textarea> </div> <div dir="rtl"> <textarea rows="2" dir="auto"> ‏ </textarea> </div> </div> <div class="ref"> <div dir="ltr"> <textarea rows="2" dir="ltr"> @123! </textarea> </div> <div dir="rtl"> <textarea rows="2" dir="ltr"> @123! </textarea> </div> </div> </body> </html>
