Rotated Vertical Text (CSS maybe?)

I would like to have more columns displayed in a smaller width than they would be if the text was horizontal on an HTML Table. So I figured I could rotate the column label text to be vertical as MS Excel's "Align" allows. How can I get rotated text displayed on a web page?

I've attached an image. I really want vertical, but any general angle would be good as a reference.

Maybe I should just put an image (like the one attached) in a table cell above the real table columns. But would the spanning width always be correct for anyone browsing my page?

I'm not aware of any way to rotate text, using images is probably your best bet. Maybe even using small icon style images with a legend at the bottom of the table.

t'is IE only and still acts wierd... I would suggest images as well.

Code:

---

.90degrees { writing-mode:tb-rl; filter:fliph() flipv();}

---

Yeah I would go with the image too, just make sure you specify the ALT attribute as the same as whatever the text in the image is so that people wihout image capable browsers, or if the image can't be found, can still see the text.

Thanks for your replies.
