Browser compatibility in vertical text - css

I want to below vertical text
I use:
-webkit-transform: rotate(90deg);
-moz-transform: rotate(90deg);
but it does not not work in IE 5 nor 6.
Another code I use:
writing-mode: tb-rl;
filter: flipv fliph;
But it does not work in Firefox
How can I resolve this problem?

Plenty of solutions here in an alternative thread : How can I draw vertical text with CSS cross-browser?

CSS transform not working IE

I have this stylesheet
.rotate div img
{
-webkit-transform: translate(-18cm, 2cm) rotate(-90deg); /* WebKit */
-webkit-transform-origin: top right;
-moz-transform: translate(-18cm, 2.5cm) rotate(-90deg);/* Mozilla */
-moz-transform-origin: top right;
-o-transform: rotate(90deg); /* Opera */
-o-transform-origin: top center;
-ms-transform: translate(-18cm) rotate(-90deg); /* Internet Explorer */
-ms-transform-origin: top right;
-sand-transform: translate(-18cm, 2.5cm) rotate(-90deg);
-sand-transform-origin top right;
max-width: 100% !important;
}
I'm having trouble with IE, the transforms are applied and are showing on screen
but when I click on the print button, the printed result is without the transforms applied to it.
(added screen in the media to see the effects, before printing)
It works fine with Firefox and Chrome
EDIT
Yes, I was testing on IE9.
Having played with it a bit more yesterday, I noticed that the image did in fact do the transform part, but what is sent to the printer is the image without the transform applied to it.
-ms-transform does not exist in IE10+. IE8 and older have no support for CSS transforms, IE9 uses only -ms-transform, and IE10 and newer use only the unprefixed transform.
See http://caniuse.com/#feat=transforms2d for more info if needed.
I has same issue but resolved by setting up media attribute to style tag as follows
<style type="text/css" media="print">
No need for fancy prefixes, just use normal transform to target MS IE!

CSS 2D transform with SVG background-image in Internet Explorer 9

I've created a left and right navigation button using only a single SVG background image and flipping it horizontally to get the other direction. This works fine in all browsers which support CSS 2D transforms except Internet Explorer 9. Basically the CSS looks like this:
div.nav-left, div.nav-right {
background-image: url('TriangleArrow-Right.svg');
}
div.nav-left {
-webkit-transform: scaleX(-1);
-ms-transform: scaleX(-1);
transform: scaleX(-1);
}
I've created a jsFiddle which correctly looks like this in Internet Explorer 10, Firefox, Chrome, Safari etc.:
But actually looks like this in IE9:
I've included a greater-than sign to illustrate in which direction the buttons should point. And actually you can see, that IE9 applies the transform correctly to the text, but does the total opposite for the SVG background image.
If I change the SVG background image to a PNG, everything works correctly in IE9 however, see this jsFiddle.
I was unable to find any information on this. It seems to be a bug, as IE9 should support CSS transforms and SVGs as CSS background correctly.
I think you need to use the special syntax for IE:
div.nav-left {
-webkit-transform: scaleX(-1);
/*-ms-transform: scaleX(-1);*/
-ms-filter: "progid:DXImageTransform.Microsoft.BasicImage(rotation=2)";
transform: scaleX(-1);
left: -50px;
}
http://jsfiddle.net/g2y86/1/
It doesn't look very sharp though, maybe there's a better way.
Edit
For flipping, try with this (note that both -ms-filter and filter lines are for IE) :
div.nav-left {
-webkit-transform: scaleX(-1);
-ms-filter: fliph;
filter: fliph;
transform: scaleX(-1);
left: -50px;
}
http://jsfiddle.net/2cPYR/
From what I tried the scaleX-property indeed won't work with negative numbers on an svg background image. If you apply differnt colored borders to the div your are trying to transform you can see, that it actually gets transformed correctly, but the background image is not adapting to its container.
If you just want to solve your immediate problem, you can use -ms-transform: rotate(180deg);, the svg seems to know what it is supposed to do here.
I used filter: FlipV; to accommodate ie9
-webkit-transform: rotate(180deg);
-ms-transform: rotate(180deg);
-moz-transform: rotate(180deg);
-o-transform: rotate(180deg);
transform: rotate(180deg);
filter: FlipV; // flip for ie9

CSS Transform not working in IE 8

I am attempting to rotate or transform a div using the CSS Transform property. Here is my transform CSS Code:
-webkit-transform: rotate(270deg);
-moz-transform: rotate(270deg);
-ms-transform: rotate(270deg);
-o-transform: rotate(270deg);
filter: progid:DXImageTransform.Microsoft.BasicImage(rotation=0);
transform: rotate(270deg);
The above code works great in all but IE 8. I need to find a way to support IE 8.
How can I create a fallback for IE8?
Note: I am using jQuery (1.8.2), HTML 5 Doctype and modernizr if that makes a difference in the answer you provide. I prefer a CSS only solution but willing to use a javascript/jQuery solution.
Here is a fiddle with the HTML and CSS.
If you see your "filter:" rotation to 3, it will give a 270 degree rotation in IE 8 (and downward to v5.5, IIRC).

Transform Properies in CSS

I want to rotate an image when i hover on it.I use the follwing code to rotate.Bui it doesn't works....
#header #scn:hover{transform:rotate(45deg)};
It doesn't works for me.I am using Firefox 4.
Is there any way to perform transform and shadow effects in IE8.
You need to add a prefix for every rendering engine. For Firefox the prefix is -moz-.
To rotate an image in all supported browsers use:
-moz-transform: rotate(45deg);
-o-transform: rotate(45deg);
-webkit-transform: rotate(45deg);
-ms-transform: rotate(45deg);
transform: rotate(45deg);
For text shadows in IE8 you can use Shadow Filter (MSDN).
Plus there is CSS transforms workaround for Internet Explorer:
cssSandpaper.

How do you do vertical text in Firefox?

I want it to start from the bottom and go up
-webkit-transform: rotate(-90deg);
-moz-transform: rotate(-90deg);
transform: rotate(-90deg);
I can't remember if the CSS supports radians, but that may work as well. Of course, defining pi might be an issue!
HTML
<div class="rotate">
Text
</div>
CSS
.rotate{-webkit-transform: rotate(-90deg);-moz-transform: rotate(-90deg);}
For firefox
.verticaltext {
writing-mode: tb-rl;
filter: flipV flipH;
}
