Yes, that. Quoting myself some weeks back: 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! This might help, just enter the degrees you want the thing to turn: http://icant.co.uk/sandbox/matrixshenanigans.html > I imagine the best options are to use the dave shea sprite technique > www.alistapart.com/articles/sprites and use some sort of image > replacement technique on the text that needs to be angled > > anyone know if this is going to be a property for css3? > > I want to do this technique so that I can combine it with the FACE > animation technique by kura fire to then create interface elements > similar to flash that are accessible and only use css I seem to remember something like that being planned, don't have a link though. I think he likes it to be called KuraFire by the way as it is a cryptic pun on Faruk's real name. I'd be careful with stating "animation" and "accessible" in the same sentence, as graceful degradation does not necessarily mean accessibility.
