[1] Before Firefox 23, the Document.dir
property returned "ltr" regardless of the setting of the dir attribute on the root <html>
element. And if a direction was set on <html>
, Document.dir
had no effect in changing it visibly (though subsequent retrieval of the document.dir
will assert that the directionality has been changed). However, if such an attribute is not set on <html>
and the property is changed, both the document's visible directionality were changed and the document.dir
property will correctly reflect the change.
