rotate title of grid/table 3

- Start date
There doesn't appear to be any kind of CSS property that will do this (though if there were, you could be sure that many browsers wouldn't support it!). I think you'll have to use an image of the rotated text instead.

this may sound crazy but if the tittles are generated dynamically can't you have a set of small images representing each letter, then go through the String and depending of each of the letters build your dynamic image of letters rotated?...
Similar to the images you have with some wep page counters, they are actually built from individual digits.
You can have a process where you send the title string and the process will return the code for a small table having each cell one of the letters (rotated) from the string in graphical format.

not that crazy after all. It actually works.
<html>
<script>
function createVert(txttitle){
var txttable;
txttable="<table cellpadding='0' cellpadding='0' border='0' bgcolor='FFFFFF'>";
for(var i=0;i<txttitle.length;i++){
txttable=txttable+"<tr><td><img src='";
txttable=txttable+txttitle.charAt(i)+".gif'>";
txttable=txttable+"</td></tr>";
}
txttable=txttable+"</table>";
return txttable;
}
</script>
<body>
<script>
document.write(createVert("AABRACADABRABBA"
);
</script>
</body>
</html>
just insert the call to the function inside the cells that make up the header tittles and you are done..
make sure you have a small graphic for every letter named the same way.
ie a.gif, j.gif.
goodluck .

You can do it with CSS filters but it's IE only.

<tr>
<td><div class="verticaltext">This is Vertical Text</div></td>
<td><div class="verticaltext">This is another Vertical Text</div></td>
<td>This is NOT Vertical Text</td>
