vertical text

Copy linkTweet thisAlerts:
Dec 14.2007

hey all,
at work at the moment- a design for a css table just came in that requires one column of tall, narrow cells to have the text inside typed vertically; that is, rotated anti-clockwise on a 90 degree angle so that the text types ‘up’ the cell.

is this possible?
Thanks in advance

@ShaneRileyDec 14.2007 — If you don't want to generate an image of the text, the only way to do it using CSS is in IE. Here's what you need for the IE only style

<h1 style="writing-mode: tb-rl"> or <h1 style="writing-mode: tb-rl; filter: FlipH FlipV;"> for the opposite direction

@WebJoelDec 14.2007 — A similar approach:

[CODE]<style>
p#vert {margin:25px; padding:5px; width:10px; font-weight:bold; border:1px solid black; text-align:center;}
#vert span {display:block;}
</style>[/CODE]


[code=html]....<body>

<p id="vert">
<span>V</span>
<span>E</span>
<span>R</span>
<span>T</span>
<span>I</span>
<span>C</span>
<span>A</span>
<span>L</span>
<span style="padding-top:23px;">T</span>
<span>E</span>
<span>X</span>
<span>T</span>
</p>


</body>....[/code]
