<br /> is the XHTML version of <br>. In XHTML, all tags must be closed, so if there is a tag like <img> or <br>, <hr>, they don't get closed by doing </br>, etc. They must be closed like this:
<img/>
<br/>
<hr/>
The space is because NS messes things up if there is no space.

Hi Ryan,
Try this:
<html>
<head>
<style>
.verticaltext {
writing-mode: tb-rl;
filter: flipv fliph;
}
</style>
</head>
<body>
<table border="1">
<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>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>4</td>
<td>5</td>
<td>6</td>
</tr>
</table>
</body>
</html>
Hope this helps,

Hi guys,
Just be aware that this requires IE5.5 or higher.
Adam's suggestion is the best way to go and will show it in the way that you wanted in all browsers, lr-tb actually turns the text rather than showing the letters horizontally.
Hope this helps Wullie
