ever seen vertical text on a web site?

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).
