I want to have a vertical text (going from top to bottom instead of from left to right). I used:

.vertical {
    writing-mode: tb-rl;
}

    This is a MSIE proprietary CSS3 property. It will take a long time (maybe never) that the w3c will adopt it in the standard so that other browsers will follow. Best solution as far may be to use Flash. There are tools for that: sIFR and swfIR. Alternatives are Javascript and/or images.

    I however question the value of vertical text in usability context.
