Text rotated by 90° using only CSS

Is it possible to rotate text by 90° (clockwise or counter-clockwise) using only CSS and compatible with IE6+, Firefox 2 and Opera?

Solution

  • How can I draw vertical text with CSS cross-browser?

    .rot-neg-90 {
  /* rotate -90 deg, not sure if a negative number is supported so I used 270 */
  -moz-transform: rotate(270deg);
  -moz-transform-origin: 50% 50%;
  -webkit-transform: rotate(270deg);
  -webkit-transform-origin: 50% 50%;
  -o-transform: rotate(270deg);
  -o-transform-origin: 50% 50%;
  transform: rotate(270deg);
  transform-origin: 50% 50%;

  /* IE<9 */
  filter: progid:DXImageTransform.Microsoft.BasicImage(rotation=3);
}

    IE<9 Rotation property for BasicImage filter.
