is there any way that you can, kind of, rotate a layer?
kind fo make layers 'wonky' without the aide of images?

or with images actually?

The CSS property is "layout-flow" although is seems that M$, in their infinite wisdom, have 'deprecated' this property in favour of "writing-mode".

I don't know which browsers (if any) support either property.

I think that I can safely say "no", at least with CSS. Try the JS forum, 80% certain that JS can do this.

You can't really rotate a "layer" (not even with js as far as I've seen). However there are ways of created slanted lines.

To rotate a "layer" the browser would have to transform text into graphics. I don't think they're up to that yet.

But I'm putting it on my wishlist...
