creating a sideways navigation menu

  • I’m trying to take a static site and create a wordpress theme for it. Currently the the menu is sideways and runs up the left of the site.

    Imagine turning your head 90degrees anti-clockwise to read it. Currently this is done via images.

    Is there anyway to do this in wordpress so that I can add new pages on the fly and have it update the sideways images?

    To put it more simply I’m looking for a way to have some of my page sideways without using images.

  • Are you talking about the browser rendering rotated text? If so, there is no easy, cross browser answer. In IE you can:

    <div style="writing-mode: tb-rl">Rotated Text</div>

    support for this is pretty much limited to ie though. Another solution would be to use the PHP GD Library to generate rotated images from text on the fly.

    Thanks for the pointer churchthemer, I saw the writing -mode alright but since it’s only available with IE it’s not a viable solution for me.

    What I might have to to is make different images for each letter and put them together on the fly. Yuck…
