Vertical Text in Firefox

Is there a way to display vertical text in Firefox? I can do
it with CSS3 in IE, but not in FF.
Is there a way to generate a dynamic image containing the
text, and then reference it with <img
src=vertText.cfm?text=myText...
I know this can be done in PHP, but how would one approach
this problem in ColdFusion?
Any help would be highly appreciated.

with CF8 you could create a cfc which would accept text as an
argument
and using cf's new image manipulation tags and functions
create the
image on the fly for you and output it to the browser
with prior cf versions it is probably still possible, but
trickier since
there are no built-in image manupulation so one has to use
3rd party
image tools...

Vertical text. Can FireFox display a vertical text? Which HTML tags should be used for that?

The site http://habrahabr.ru/blogs/css/58732/ recommends a way for using vertical text in HTML/CSS (see example below). However my instance of Firefox 3.6.22 does not display this vertical text. Please let me know your recommendations/
<html>
<head>
<title>1</title>
<style>

</style>
<body>
<div class="vertical">Testing text</div>
</body>
</html>

See: https://developer.mozilla.org/En/CSS/-moz-transform

Version 3.6.17 Horizontal drop down menu is displaying as vertical text list. Page style set to basic. Menu works fine in Internet Explorer. Any hints?

Newly installed horizontal drop down menu works in IE. In Firefox, it displays as a vertical text list. Any hints?

Problem with vertical text in crystal report viewer

Hi,
I am displaying vertical text in crystal report designer and deploying the report in crystal reports server 2008. The deployed report is being displayed using JAVA in crystal report viewer control.
Problem: Vertical text header is getting collapsed wth other vertical headers.
Please help on this.
Thanks,

Hi Vijay,
I found out another method of retaining all the chart formatting that is done in the preview pane.
Once you have done all the changes then you will find interestingly there is a chart menu option that appears in the tool bar. Once you click on it there is an option "Apply Changes to All Charts".
Select that option, close your preview. Open it once again and you will find that all the settings are still there and the Web Viewer is able to display them properly.
I think that I resolved this.

Since this morning all text in firefox look slightly different - I think it still uses the same font, but renders it differently.

Since this morning all text in firefox looks slightly different - I think it still uses the same font, but renders it differently!? I would like to have it changed back to what it was. Any help is welcome.
Some facts:
- Happens only in Firefox (IE & Chrome still look the same)
- Already did a reset to defaults
I'm using the latest version of Firefox
Screenshot can be found here: [http://www.ka-pow.net/media/images/firefoxissue.jpg link text]

Reset the page zoom on pages that cause problems: <b>View/Beeld > Zoom > Reset</b> (Ctrl+0 (zero); Cmd+0 on Mac)
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/Zoom_text_of_web_pages
Press F10 or tap the Alt key to bring up the "Menu Bar" temporarily if the Menu Bar is hidden.
Use "Firefox > Options" instead of "Tools/Extra > Options" if the menu bar is hidden.

Vertical Text in PDF using CFDOCUMENT

I am using font tag in a CSS file to layout a table header
using vertical text. In HTML, the vertical text looks fine.
However, when I convert the table to a pdf using
<cfdocument>, the vertical text is displayed as horizintal
text and does not follow the css specified font family, color or
size.
Here is the line in the CCS I am referencing:
.header_vertical {FONT-WEIGHT: bold; FONT-SIZE: 8pt;
FONT-STYLE: normal; writing-mode:tb-rl; FONT-FAMILY: helvetica,
arial, verdana, sans-serif; TEXT-DECORATION: none; COLOR: #0f437c}
This is CFMX7 on a Windows Server 2003 OS running IIS.
Any ideas???
Thanks.

Hi there, did you find a solution to this?
I had the same issue and no matter what i tried it didn't
work. I found out that CFDOCUMENT doesn't support CSS2.
Eventually I came up with a clunky solution, but had no other
choice. I bought some imaging software called Alagad (
http://www.alagad.com) which
produces the vertical text as images on the fly. Its not ideal, but
there was no ther way I could disply the text.
Hope this helps you.

Weird problem with vertical text in a table

Hello,
I am new on this forum, usually I don't post because I always find the answer to my question, but this is something quite weird...
I have a table with vertical text in it (it has to be vertical because the cells are narrow). And I want it to be centered in the cell, both vertically and horizontally. When the cell is high enough, no problem. But as it becomes shorter, the text moves to the left. It is exactly as if there was a right margin within the cell, which is not the case.
See the example below : I had the text right-aligned (this is to say, bottom-aligned, as it is 270° rotated) to make it more visible.
Can someone help me there ? I already spent hours on that problem..!
Thank you very much !

Only, my table contents both vertical and horizontal text, so I can't. But thanks for the suggestion.
Thank you kindly for all your answers. Anyway, re-writing the text in separate frames won't be so difficult (anyway it'll always take less time than what that problem already did..).
So I have a solution, thanks to Phorna
But remains the frustration of not finding the reason of this ! I will live along with it
Thanks to all

Sliding text in Firefox location/search bars

It has come to my attention that, when I use a bitmap font for my GTK apps, the text in Firefox's search and location bars tends to slide arround annoyingly when selected. Here's a screenshot of this:
The "sliding" is visible in the circled areas.
Is there anything that can be done about this?

Anyone know the reason this occurs in apps that aren't pure GTK? Does it have something to do with Cairo? Firefox can IIRC be compiled with Cairo support - would that fix it?

Creating Vertical text in horizontal position ... ??

Hi
I am tring to print text onto address labels in a vertical orientaion (for final use). I have a large CD collection and I am trying to print headings for plastic cards that have a small tab that sticks out. I found small address labels to be the perfect size to stick on. However, I will be appling the labels vertically.
Pages allows you to take horizontal text and rotate it, BUT the letters are NOT stacked on top of each other, you just end up with diagnol or sideways rotated text.
WordArt in MS Word allows you to orient the text the way I want, but I was hoping for an easier solution in Pages - as the resizing in wordart is cumbersome and fixed to varies intervalls, you cannot enter specific number sizes.
I hope I was decribing this clearly.
Thanks AL

You can achieve the effect you want by creating a text box (it should be set for Moves With Text and Wrap should be off). Type your text with a return after each letter and then narrow the box to fit the vertical text. Next, in the Text Inspector center the text. Go to the Metrics inspector and type "90" in the Angle box at the bottom.
You should be able to copy and paste this to your template.

Can't lift text from Firefox

Searched and found one old thread where someone couldn't lift text from Firefox and was advised to View Source and copy it from there, but that will not work for me. Is Firefox just liftproof or what? I lift headlines and a paragraph or two from news stories and link to them from my site bradmesser.com. OS 10.6.5, iMac 7,1, Firefox 3.6.12 (new Firefox beta doesn't work well at all for me, trashed it)

Normally I copy text from a site in Safari, then go to Dreamweaver and paste that text. When I copy from a Firefox site such as <http://www.sacbee.com/2010/11/12/3179800/white-house-notebook-no-dead-fish.html?storylink= lingospot_related_articles> and go to Dw and paste, nothing is placed. But when I paste to, say, TextEdit, it DOES paste. Too weird, huh.

Vertical text direction / orientation in tables. (RoboHelp 7 and/or 8)

Hello all,
I need to squeeze a fairly full table (lots of columns) into a printable page width.
In order to do this, I need to put text into some of the cells so that they read vertically. I can do this in MS Word tables (menu > Format > Text Direction) and need an equivalent in RH. Preferably RH7, (but can import into RH8 if I must ).
Any ideas anyone?

Hi Philip
My guess is that you can probably fudge it using CSS. But it won't be something RoboHelp will assist with in any way.
Check the link below for one hit I found. Use Google searching for vertical text in HTML to find others.

Vertical text in CR 2008
