Re: rotating text 90 degrees counter clockwise?

Andre,

I finally found the code that would allow you to do EXACTLY what you want,
however, it's a Microsoft-only Extension to CSS1. Please see
http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/workshop/author/dhtml/ref
erence/properties/writingmode.asp
for more information (the URL is likely to wrap, be sure to copy in the
whole thing to your browser).

Here is a specific example of the above in action:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/workshop/samples/author/dhtml/refs/writingMode.htm
(Again, it's a long URL, so it'll likely wrap).

Once again, be aware that this works ONLY in MSIE, so if your audience uses
only MSIE, this will work, but if they use other browsers, a different
option will need to be pursued.

Hope this helps!
Kehvan
