Nik,
you are right, the origin of the rotation differs for DHTML runtime
OpenLaszlo versions up to 4.5. That's a bug, or let's say: no-one
seemed to use that feature in applications, it was just used in small
demos. I filed a bug in JIRA a few weeks ago, and committed a fix
yesterday:
http://jira.openlaszlo.org/jira/browse/LPP-8362
That means, with the nightly builds (http://download.openlaszlo.org/nightly/trunk/
) rotation should work for DHTML with Safari 4.x, Webkit and FF 3.5+
now.
If you want to use DHTML and rotation, remember that IE is not going
to support it. The best approach will be to deploy an SWF version of
older browser and IE users, and use the DHTML version for the "goog"
browsers.

Thank you very much for patiently responding to my question!
On *Firefox 3.5.2* "*rotation*" is set to *false*.
On *Safari 4.02* the *dhtml* version works fine.
But the center of rotation is not the same as *swf* version!
Is it a known fact/feature/bug?
Regards
Nik
