Text Orientation

T

Tony

I have an HTML table with some text in it.
How do I get the text to be written vertically

ie you have to turn you head 90 degrees to the screen to read it.
ie in stead of reading right to left you are reading bottom to top.

I'm sure its just a style - but I cant find what
Thanks

There are scripts that will do this. Google for "vertical text" and, for
example, this comes up:

| Make it a graphic. It's the only way.

Two - one where the letters are rotated as well as the letter baseline, and
the other where the letters are only 'stacked' vertically.

I can read dynamic drive's solution keeping the orientation of my head
perpendicular to my shoulders (assuming my shoulders are not also vertically
oriented). 8)

Okay, I understand.
