That is horrible. It is the CSS equivalent of nested FONT tags and table layouts. I'd use an image (sized in ems) with a proper alternative text to achieve the effect and keep it easier to maintain. MSIE has a proprietary matrix selector (sans Kung Fu sadly enough) for that kind of stuff, too: http://msdn.microsoft.com/workshop/author/filter/reference/filters/matrix.asp For MSIE only stuff you could do: <div class="diagonal">test</div> .diagonal {width:8em;height:1em;background: #eee; filter:progid:DXImageTransform.Microsoft.Matrix(M11='0.7071067811865476', M12='0.7071067811865475', M21='-0.7071067811865475' ,M22='0.7071067811865476', sizingmethod='auto expand'); } Cryptic? Why yes!
