HTML question

[spoma]

I am trying to design a webpage and I was wondering if there is a way of writing text vertically on a sight. I am trying to do this without having to import an image of the text vertically. Any help would be appreciated.

Maybe something like,

<font face="xxxx" color="#xxxx">T
H
E

C
A
T</font>

Edit: Damit, it actually implemented the HTML! Just use "br" after each letter.

Yeah, just use < B R > after every letter and youll be fine

Or you could use a narrow table cell.

Sorry I guess I didn't phrase my question right. I want it so that the text is actually rotated counter clockwise 90 degrees. so it is written sideways up the right hand side of the scree. Any help. thanks.

You can't sdo that in HTML.

You could use css for this, but I think that is css2 and not all browsers support that.

best to do it just as an image

thanks for the help. i guess i will stick with the images for now.

Amish, that's great. Too bad you can't do it to have have the text canted 90 degrees counter-clockwise. I can think of reasons to use that with a counter-clockwise text rotation but not really with the clockwise rotation.

Amish, that was great but I realy can't use it because it isn't supported until IE 5.5
To many people are still using 5.0

yea, what they said.

rule of thumb is this: anything you want to do, can not be done in html

So you want the text written in a vertical line with the first letter at the bottom and the last at the top, correct?

Try this:
<table width="100%">
<tr>
<td align="right">t</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td align="right">x</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td align="right">e</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td align="right">t</td>
</tr>
</table>

 

[spoma]

that is going to display this

t
x
e
t

what i want is for the letters also to be sideways

 

[BigJohnKC]

Oh, I misunderstood, sorry.... Maybe you can find a font where the letters are sideways. *shrug*
