Vertical Text Orientation in HTML?

Question

I want to display text vertically, either by rotating it or by putting letters on top of each other, i don't really care but rotating is my preference.

I found this for css:
writing-mode: tb-rl;
filter: flipv fliph;
but it does not work in firefox

Answer 1

CSS filters only work in Internet Explorer. The writing-mode CSS attribute is part of the CSS 3 specification and is (surprisingly) only supported by Internet Explorer. The CSS 2 specification is the current framework and only the Opera browser is fully compliant with that specification (see CSS Acid2.0 test for more information).

The only way to accommodate vertical text in all browsers is to create an image of the text. Then, you need to either float other elements around the text or use the z-index to put it above the other elements on the page.
