I have some images that I'd like to rotate 90 degrees without building a seperate image file for each. Is it possible to do this with HTML? TIA.
 
It definately can't be done with HTML. You're better bet will be with a JAVA applet.

There's always a better way. The fun is trying to find it!
 
Hi mate,

Not what you are looking for but the closest I can think of using html/css.

<head>
<style>
.rotate {
writing-mode: tb-rl;
filter: flipv fliph;
}
</style>
</head>
<body>

<div class=&quot;rotate&quot;><img src=&quot;image.gif&quot;></div>

</body>
</html>

Hope this helps

Wullie

Thanks for the reply. I guess I can't do what I want and avoid browser dependencies.
 
Not on the client side, but who's to say there isn't a server side app that'll do it for you. Then, your client code can be clean and crisp, like fresh underpants, just back from the vet.

Why not just make a new image file? Jeeze. You coulda been done with it by now.
 
Part of the original question was &quot;without building a separate image file for each.&quot;

I can do server-side programs. I hadn't thought of that (DUH!) so I'll look into it. Thanks.
