gorilla -> RE: Vertical Text - A little " How to" present for bobby (8/19/2003 15:21:32)

Just to make one quick point. Karsten did this as a joke in response to a posting Bobby made elsewhere. See his sig :-) and indeed the title of the thread.
He sent bobby a screenshot of what the code does and wondered how many millionths of a second it would be before bobby logged in, found, and tried, the code.
He had a serious intent also, to, as PageOneResults spotted, give a sneak preview of just one of the things we can expect from CSS3. PageOneResults' other point is very important also.
This is non-standard code and may well not render properly in many current browsers. What this means is that when a browser doesn't understand the instructions in Karsten's code, it [i}won't break the browser all that will happen is that the browser will ignore the instructions and render the paragraph as a normal one.
One point of optimism for CSS3 btw is that the word we're getting here is that W3C are plannning on releasing it "into the wild" in a modular way. Thereby giving browser manufacturers a way of planning their upgrades/support.
Hope this helps and thank you LCAngela for spotting the typo.

From the notes IE6 was the version of IE tested that this did work for. So many bugs in IE5 that for once I suggest an upgrade.
