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

Thanks 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
}
