The main problem is… and I feel very dirty saying this… IE is still the only browser that let’s you display those asian writing systems correctly… using rotate(90deg) rotates the characters rather than displaying them vertically.

I think the guys behind all these standards are woefully neglectful of the non-english web sometimes… we’re just left with things like flash when it comes to typography.

Nice work, but this approach is limited, in that the text can only be rotated 90 degrees, instead of Snook’s approach which allows 90, 180, and 270 degrees.

Extremely nice one!

But I have one issue. I want to use vertical text as table head. When I use the above script it comes out of header container, td or th what ever you use.

Can anybody help me out in this.

@Mahaveer - There is a Matrix filter in IE, like all IE propriety properties has highly convoluted and confusing syntax, which could potentially be used to do a 10 degree rotation. Have a read of this blog post to help you get your head around it. @wtrmute - Haha, yeah I don't see writing-mode catering for those crazy obscure scripts, but spiral writing would be pointlessly awesome.

Strictly, Ogham (an old Irish alphabet) can be written bottom-to-top and left-to-right. Of course, I doubt that W3C will add another writing mode just to support an obscure script. Otherwise they’d have to add boustrophedon and runic/Iberian spiral writing…
