A useful tool for creating complex tables would be the ability to have text, primarily the headers, run down to up, instead of the normal left to right. This will keep the column from being too wide and pushing other columns off the screen. I've given an example of the type of text I propose in an image file in the URL I linked. My apologies if I didn't understand this form properly. Osiris
IMHO this only can be done with: <td style="writing-mode: tb-rl; filter: flipV() flipH();"> But this only works in IE, not in FireFox f.e.
This isn't possible with CSS 2.1, and I can't find anything on it in current CSS 3 drafts. Is it possible with JavaScript?
If it ever becomes possible in standard CSS, we'll come back to it. Closing as LATER for now.
