Hi With CSS transformations I have finally found a way to rotate column headers in order to save space. I have put it into experimental use for FFox 3.5 at: http://keryx.se/resources/html-elements/ (Apologies to Webkit: I will add support soon.) Without this feature my table gets really wide and will cause excessive horizontal scrolling for most users. It also helps trying to fit the table on a paper for printing. This is a very clear use-case and a standard feature in all spreadsheet software. I have described my technique at http://itpastorn.blogspot.com/2009/05/rotating-column-headers-using-css-only.html As you can see my method is quite a hack and very fragile and I can't use the same values for Gecko and Webkit. It seems to me that there should be a way to achieve this result that is easy and stable. Has this been discussed and if so can someone point me to that discussion? -- Keryx Web (Lars Gunther) http://keryx.se/ http://twitter.com/itpastorn/ http://itpastorn.blogspot.com/
