Vertical Text in CSS - Help Please - 8/4/2005 12:12:47   
Greetings.

I have a project that I am working on (and am still in my "infancy" stage of css).

I would like to use vertical text for navigation tabs to run along the side of the page. In the css code I have:

.verticaltext {
writing-mode: tb-rl;
filter: flipv fliph;
font-family: verdana, arial, helvetica, sans-serif; 
}


In the html I have:

<div class="verticaltext">link text</div>


This seems to work all fine and dandy in IE but not in Mozilla. Is there a fix or a better way to accomplish this or am I "wishful thinking"?

Filter and writing-mode are IE proprietary properties. Only IE/win supports them unfortunately.

You could achieve the same effect using images perhaps?

Yes, it seems that I will have to make the text an image. Many thanks for your reply.
