    copied!<p>This is not a question.<br> I just felt that after spending this much time figuring out how to do this I would hate myself if i didn't save it somewhere and I would be a lousy programmer if I didn't share what I had found. (Killing two birds with one stone here.)</p> <p>So here is the code for rotating text in a table to act as a header.</p> <pre><code>&lt;html&gt; &lt;head&gt; &lt;!--[if IE]&gt; &lt;style&gt; .rotate_text { writing-mode: tb-rl; filter: flipH() flipV(); } &lt;/style&gt; &lt;![endif]--&gt; &lt;!--[if !IE]&gt;&lt;!--&gt; &lt;style&gt; .rotate_text { -moz-transform:rotate(-90deg); -moz-transform-origin: top left; -webkit-transform: rotate(-90deg); -webkit-transform-origin: top left; -o-transform: rotate(-90deg); -o-transform-origin: top left; position:relative; top:20px; } &lt;/style&gt; &lt;!--&lt;![endif]--&gt; &lt;style&gt; table { border: 1px solid black; table-layout: fixed; width: 69px; /*Table width must be set or it wont resize the cells*/ } th, td { border: 1px solid black; width: 23px; } .rotated_cell { height:300px; vertical-align:bottom } &lt;/style&gt; &lt;/head&gt; &lt;body&gt; &lt;table border='1'&gt; &lt;tr&gt; &lt;td class='rotated_cell'&gt; &lt;div class='rotate_text'&gt;Test1&lt;/div&gt; &lt;/td&gt; &lt;td class='rotated_cell'&gt; &lt;div class='rotate_text'&gt;TEST2&lt;/div&gt; &lt;/td&gt; &lt;td class='rotated_cell'&gt; &lt;div class='rotate_text'&gt;WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOHOOOOOO&lt;/div&gt; &lt;/td&gt; &lt;/tr&gt; &lt;tr&gt;&lt;td&gt;X&lt;/td&gt;&lt;td&gt;X&lt;/td&gt;&lt;td&gt;X&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt; &lt;tr&gt;&lt;td&gt;X&lt;/td&gt;&lt;td&gt;X&lt;/td&gt;&lt;td&gt;X&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt; &lt;tr&gt;&lt;td&gt;X&lt;/td&gt;&lt;td&gt;X&lt;/td&gt;&lt;td&gt;X&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt; &lt;tr&gt;&lt;td&gt;X&lt;/td&gt;&lt;td&gt;X&lt;/td&gt;&lt;td&gt;X&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt; &lt;/table&gt; &lt;/body&gt; &lt;/html&gt; </code></pre>
