Question

Has anyone figured out how to angle a text field in a form? I’m tired of perfectly straight horizontal fields and I would like experiment with something different. I don’t want to use flash.

A little tilt action please.

Answer 1

You can use something like what’s described here.

From that site:

For Webkit and Firefox (as of 3.5),
you can take advantage of the proposed
transform property to handle the
rotation. Each browser requires its
property prefix for now.

-webkit-transform: rotate(-90deg); 
-moz-transform: rotate(-90deg);

For IE:

When it comes to effects in Internet
Explorer, there is a surprising amount
of power (and untapped at that, I’d
say) in using filters. Although
misleading, there is a filter called
BasicImage that offers up the ability
to rotate any element that has layout.

filter: progid:DXImageTransform.Microsoft.BasicImage(rotation=3);
