I am using lotus notes english version. but i am entering data in Arabic language. The data is saved correctly in view , when i try to retrieve that data normally then its going fine, but if i uses .text method (eg. if i am retreiving data from a combobox , using javascript , using selectedIndex.text method) then the data is obtianed in reverse order . eg . if i am retreiving a string "ali hussain ameen samar " ill get it “samar ameen hussain ali”, the same problem exist with lotus script as well . Can u suggest me some alternative method.
