Starting cells of the table from right to left

Starting cells of the table from right to left

I am writing a Jewish web page and I need to create a form, the thing is that I need the cells to start from right to left, and not from left to right by default, so when I click the tab button, it will go left. I tried float: the right css attribute in the table and tr td, but nothing helps, when I finally managed to reorder the cells, all the cells were pressed together. anyone can help me point out the correct attributes that I need to write.

Thanks in advance to all the helpers.

Set the direction of the layout from right to left, most naturally with <html dir=rtl> . The dir attribute , in addition to directing directional neutral text, sets the order of the columns in the table. Thus, you can write the table cells containing the input elements in a logical order (first the field must be filled first, etc.), and the browser will set the cells from right to left. Thus, the transition from the first input field to the second means the transition to the left.

Note that dir=rtl also sets the default alignment to the right, which is usually suitable for languages from right to left.

You probably want to use the tabindex attribute, not a monkey with a cell order. In addition, tables are for tabular data. Is there a reason you use it for a form?
