Subject: ever seen vertical text on a web site?
Posted By: lcsgeek Post Date: 9/11/2003 9:26:07 AM
Isn't there a way to present text vertically on a web page?  I desperately need this functionality but now that I think about it, I don't think I've ever seen a rotated piece of text anywhere on the web.  Anyone?

Probably with CSS

Hi

You might find a java applet to do this for you, or use graphics if you can.

Glad to help.

I did a little more searching out of curiosity.  I think what I gave you is Microsoft-specific.  They list it as a 'proposed' addition to CSS.

The CSS 2 specification has a little different syntax, and should be cross-browser compatible (as soon as they all support CSS2).
