# Style unicodeBidi Property

Style Object

## Definition and Usage

The unicodeBidi property is used with the direction property to set or return whether the text should be overridden to support multiple languages in the same document.

## Syntax

Set the unicodeBidi property:

Object.style.unicodeBidi="normal|embed|bidi-override|inherit"

Return the unicodeBidi property:

Object.style.unicodeBidi

Value | Description
--- | ---
normal | Does not use an additional level of embedding. This is default
embed | Creates an additional level of embedding
bidi-override | Creates an additional level of embedding. Reordering depends on the direction property
inherit | The value of the unicodeBidi property is inherited from parent element

## Browser Support

The unicodeBidi property is supported in all major browsers.

Note: The value "inherit" is not supported in IE7 and earlier. IE8 requires a !DOCTYPE. IE9 supports "inherit".

## Example

Override text:

<html>
<head>
<script>
function displayResult()
{
document.getElementById("p1").style.unicodeBidi="bidi-override";
}
</script>
</head>
<body>
<p>This is some text.</p>
<p id="p1" style="direction:rtl">This is another text.</p>
<br>
<button type="button" onclick="displayResult()">Override text</button>
</body>
</html>
