The default direction of the jQuery UI Progressbar is from left to right. How do I change it so that it moves from right to left on completion? Below is an example of what I am trying to achieve.

CSS only, try adding this to your page:
.ui-progressbar .ui-progressbar-value {
float: right;
}
This is not a complete answer, but a test to see if this is what you intended.

the js doesn't work and I don't see how starting at max would make the direction switch, let's say if I was 50% – Julian Jun 17 '12 at 04:11

@Julian try this new "solution" – jcolebrand Jun 17 '12 at 04:35

perfect. had to float it "right" of course and add a bit of jquery "('.ui-corner-left').addClass('ui-corner-right').removeClass('ui-corner-left');" but it worked perfectly. Can't believe I didn't think of this before! Might want to change that to float : right for future reference for other users. – Julian Jun 17 '12 at 05:09

You probably want to be a little more narrowing than just .ui-corner-left for when you add something else in the future, but sweet. – jcolebrand Jun 17 '12 at 05:10

How about a position:absolute;right:0; + classChange ui-corner-right. Any one who doent like to float can try it. – sabithpocker Jun 17 '12 at 05:21

If it worked, sure would be lovely to collect another checkmark ;-) – jcolebrand Jun 17 '12 at 06:43

You may also use CSS3 to rotate your progress bar 180 degrees:
#progressbar {
transform:rotate(180deg);
-ms-transform:rotate(180deg); /* IE 9 */
-moz-transform:rotate(180deg); /* Firefox */
-webkit-transform:rotate(180deg); /* Safari and Chrome */
-o-transform:rotate(180deg); /* Opera */
}
Not tested on older versions of IE.

Ask users nicely to install [Google Chrome Frame](https://developers.google.com/chrome/chrome-frame/) on their IE6-9. `:)` – Fabrício Matté Jun 17 '12 at 04:15

i agree, the web would be a better place, but forcing users to install software to get a better viewing experience brings up bad memories of the the ActiveX days :) – Julian Jun 17 '12 at 04:19

@Julian Not going too off-topic, but "the ActiveX days"? Even nowadays IE9 asks me to allow blocked ActiveX content to access my own websites! Heh, anyway, here's a [CSS3 fully working fiddle even in IE6](http://jsfiddle.net/ult_combo/cP5SY/4/), GCF takes about 2 clicks to install only, a couple seconds to download, installs automatically and doesn't require a page reload. I'm not stressing myself with IE from now on. `:)` – Fabrício Matté Jun 17 '12 at 04:32

I had to solve the same issue today with angular ui's progressbar. The other answers were close but didn't work in bootstrap 3 with out changing all instances which was not acceptable to me.
This worked... The selector gets the first child div and then applies the float
.progress-reverse div:nth-of-type(1) {
float: right;
}
and
<progressbar class="progress-striped progress-reverse active" value="progress" type="{{progressType}}"></progressbar>
Hope this helps!

$( "#progressbar-2" ).progressbar({
isRTL: true,
value: 30,
max:300
});
