Re: CSS and vertical text - help!
Not till css3 as i understand it. In addition to the solution, you could make your containing box thin enough that only one letter will display horizontally in it and put a space between each letter. -- jon mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Wednesday, June 25, 2003, 2:19:10 PM, you wrote: RP> Hi guys - I have 1 foot out the door for vacation, and the other is typing RP> on a keyboard while my hands are busy with my CSS books.

RE: CSS and vertical text - help!
Make sure you don't have any extra line breaks before or after the text:
function toVert(str) {
var result = "";
for (i = 1; i LTE len(str); i = i + 1)
result = result & mid(str, i, 1) & chr(10);
return result & "";
}
#toVert("i'm good")#
yields:
i
'
m
g
o

Re: Vertical Text
You could enclose each letter in a and set the display to block.
I'll admit it is needlessly complicated, you can just use , but at
least this way you could technicall have one word in one paragraph with
the letters next to each other, and it would be a word in alternative
browsers.
.vert {display: block}

That's a good idea. maybe if you play with it, you could get it to

RE: Vertical Text
We had a site which needed text running vertically (not letters stacked on top of each other) and ended up loading strings into flash movies. May not be useful for you in this case but easy to do.
