  • 0

This is as close as I’ve gotten. In IE 9, the row header is positioned wrong. In IE 8, the text won’t rotate the right direction (-90 vs 90 degrees). In Chrome, I can’t resize the column width. I’d settle for getting this right in IE 9 for now. What do I need to do to make the rotated row headers position correctly in the row?

    <style type="text/css">
        .TableGroupHeader_cell
        {
            width: 3em;
            height: 20em;
            border: 2px solid #DDB575;
        }

        .TableGroupHeader_text
        {
            border : 1px solid black;
        }

        .TableGroupHeader_div
        {
            writing-mode:tb-rl;
           -webkit-transform:rotate(270deg);
           -moz-transform:rotate(270deg);
           -o-transform: rotate(270deg);

    I don’t have many versions of Explorer at hand, but this code works so far in this browsers:

    • firefox 10.0.7 (linux)
    • firefox 14.0.1 (windows)
    • Opera 12.02 (linux and windows)
    • Explorer 9 (normal and compatibility view)
    <style type="text/css">
* { border: 0px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; }  
.TableGroupHeader_cell { width: 3em; height: 20em; border: 2px solid #DDB575; }  
.TableGroupHeader_div { text-align: center; font-weight: bold; font-size: large; border: 1px solid red; width: 10em; height: 6.5em; }  
.TableGroupHeader_div { writing-mode:tb-rl; -webkit-transform:rotate(270deg); -moz-transform:rotate(270deg); -o-transform: rotate(270deg); }  
.TableGroupHeader_text { border: 1px solid black; display: block; height: 100%; width: 100%; filter: progid:DXImageTransform.Microsoft.BasicImage(rotation=2);  }  
</style>

    That code is yours with few extras, plus I removed all the comments, so no handling of explorer versions. And I separated the rules to make it more clear for me, I hope that is not a problem.

    The main changes are to set the label as a block component and apply the filter property to the object.

    You can read a about that here:
