input box not accepting arabic numbers. only text.

[afridy]

Hai folks,

i use the windows language bar to switch between arabic and english typing.
i am able to type arabic text in to html input box in my project.
but when i type arabic nmbers, it's typed in English only. not in arabic.
why is only input box accepting arabic text and does not numbers?

I would suspect it might be to do with the font or keyboard you are using or what characters the input was allowed to accept. I will presume you have set the language of the page and character set correctly in the markup. (٠‎ - ١‎ - ٢‎ - ٣‎ - ٤‎ - ٥‎ - ٦‎ - ٧‎ - ٨‎ - ٩‎)

Hai xhtmlcorder

it just an ordinary input box with no restriction in input being placed.
i use the language bar in the system tray to switch between AR (Arabic Saudi arabia) and EN (English).
The html header has declared UTF8

<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8" />
