Vertical text in netscape

cross browser problem with vertical text

[anapahalaxis]

Well, I am designing a website for my mothers business, and I am useing it as an oppertunity to learn CSS, js and DHTML techniques in general. Beforel this point I have just used HTML and frames.
Obviously I am learning on the job, which for me seems to be the only way I learn. Up until now I have come up against a whole lot of grief (z-indexes are the bane of my existance....) but have managed to muddle through. However now I am really stumped.

Here is the CSS I am using, to make vertical text. It works in IE, but not in netscape. I really don't want to have to use an image file unless I have to, as the page is a gallery and will already have a number of images on it. I want to keep loading time to a minimum.

.titlebox {
position: absolute;
writing-mode: tb-rl;
filter: flipv fliph;
top: 150px;
height: auto;
width: 25px;
font-weight: bold;
font-size: 54px;
}

As I say, it works for IE, but not netscape. Does anyone know a way to get vertical text in netscape? I have already set up a netscape css file using a script to check the browser type. So ideal would be something to put in that css to override the above.
Thanks.

Welcome to Webmaster World!

Filters are IE proprietary and writing-mode is an idea for CSS3. So, no, there's nothing you can do (right now) other than use an image.

Welcome to WebmasterWorld, anapahalaxis!

My guess would be that NN does not support the CSS rules that allow you to rotate the text.

If you really need to do this, how about using an image?

Alas, I didn't want to do this as I wanted the titles on seven different gallery pages to be vertical, but I guess if there is no other option then that is what I will have to do! I does look way too good with my layout to give up on.

Thanks for your help.
