I'm trying to rotate a variety of text blocks so they are vertically oriented, and position them in very specific locations on a diagram which will be previewed and then printed.
CSS rotates the text very nicely in IE, FF, even Opera.
But when I try to position a rotated element, IE 7 & 8 (not worried about 6) breaks completely and the element stays in its original location. Any way around this? I really need to-the-pixel control of where these labels are located.
HTML
<div class="content rotate">
<div id="Div1" class="txtblock">Ardvark Avacado<br />Awkward</div>
<div id="Div2" class="txtblock">Brownies<br />Bacteria Brussel Sprouts</div>
</div>
CSS
div.content {
position: relative;
width: 300px;
height: 300px;
margin: 30px;
border-top: black 4px solid;
border-right: blue 4px solid;
border-bottom: black 4px dashed;
border-left: blue 4px dashed; }
.rotate {
-webkit-transform: rotate(-90deg);
-moz-transform: rotate(-90deg);
-o-transform: rotate(-90deg);
filter: progid:DXImageTransform.Microsoft.BasicImage(rotation=3); }
.txtblock {
width: auto;
position: absolute;
}
#Div1 {
left:44px;
top:70px;
border:red 3px solid; }
#Div2 {
left:13px;
top:170px;
border:purple 3px solid; }
