I am looking for a jQuery library to help with handling bidirectionality

Google has one in the closure library, but I feel it is a waste to include all of the library just for bidi input support (unless you recommend me otherwise)
http://closure-library.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/closure/goog/demos/bidiinput.html

the google closure library is a seemingly endless collection for files, with many dependencies. I don’t see how using it for 1 function is efficient

update

I found this from a drupal project. I am unable to make it work. Anyone know of it?

update2

it seems that adding “dir=auto” to the input field handles it.
works in chrome and ff. anyone can confirm this?

dir=auto should fix it.

it is in the html5 standard, although safari doesn’t work with it

works with chrome and firefox.

Thanks me 🙂
