Hi guys,

I'd like to display some text written vertically (on the left side of a table) and I found the following stuff that works in IE...

<style type="text/css">
.vertical
{
writing-mode: tb-rl;
filter: flipv fliph;
}
</style>

But it doesn't work in Netscape.

Is there anything that will work for Netscape?

Either I did not understand your question or you you do not need any MS specific code to do this.

Now if I understood you correctly, then put a div span or other element and make its width so little that it wont fint more then a small word in that case it will print words above each other showing them vertically layedout.????

I've attached an example of the effect I'm after...

There will typically be only one word, so reducing the width doesn't do - and adding line breaks after each letter looks horrid.

Any Ideas?
