How can I view Arabic/Persian numbers in a HTML page with strict doctype?

Question

I have an HTML page that is right-to-left. When I don\'t use any doctype, my numbers are in Arabic/Persian, but when I use strict mode they turn to English.

Answer 1

var map_format_arabic = ["&\#1632;","&\#1633;","&\#1634;","&\#1635;","&\#1636;", "&\#1637;","&\#1638;","&\#1639;","&\#1640;","&\#1641;"];

$.each( $('.format_arabic'), function () {
    var n=$(this).text().replace(/\d(?=[^<>]*(<|$))/g, function($0) { return map_format_arabic[$0]});
    $(this).html(n);
});
