Question

I have a div element which I would like to change it’e dir attribute from the code.
The problem is that I can’t set the runat=server attribute on the div, so it’s not accessible from the code.

Using asp.net, c#, framework 4.0.

Any idea?

Thanks.

If you don’t want to set the div to runat="server" so you can do the following:

<div dir='<%= GetDir() %>'>
    Your text
</div>

and in the code behind you can set the direction using the following code:

if(You Condition)
        {
            return "ltr";
        }
        else
        {
            return "rtl";
        }
