# Styling text input – RTL

 * HI
    I am adding CF7 form to an RTL styled website. I managed to display the fields
   and their labels as LTR within the RTL page, but when users input text into text
   fields, the input is displayed in the field as RTL and aligned to right. Should
   be LTR and aligned to left. Any placeholder text is also displayed as RTL in 
   the filed.
 * How do I get the input text to behave LTR and aligned to left?
 * Thanks

 * You have this style rule in [your theme’s stylesheet](http://israel-ceramics.org/wp-content/themes/CAAI/style.css)
   and it is effective to the input field.
 *     ```
       body, div, dl, dt, dd, ul, ol, li, h1, h2, h3, h4, h5, h6, pre, form, p, blockquote, th, td {
           direction: rtl;
           margin: 0;
           padding: 0;
       }
       ```

 * Thank you
    How can I create a `direction: ltr;` style that will affect only the
   input fields in this form?

 * Thank you
    I added to child CSS, this style rule: .cf7ltr { direction:ltr; }
 * and each input filed in the form tags was assigned the class
