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

In case you need to replace some English to Arabic numerals and not the whole HTML, pass the number you need to this function.

function toArabicNumeral(en) {
    return ("" + en).replace(/[0-9]/g, function(t) {
        return "٠١٢٣٤٥٦٧٨٩".substr(+t, 1);
    });
}
