When working with HTML, the options for text orientation are limited to horizontal and vertical. However, if you incorporate SVG into your design, you can achieve text rotation. This limitation is inherent to HTML and not a constraint imposed by jQuery.
EDIT: Interesting! Today I learned something new.
To implement text rotation, simply apply the following CSS:
transform: rotate(88deg);
-webkit-transform: rotate(88deg);
-moz-transform: rotate(88deg);
You can also use jQuery to achieve this effect:
$(element).css({ "transform": "rotate(88deg)", "-webkit-transform": "rotate(88deg)", "-moz-transform: rotate(88deg)" });
An alternative approach is to define a custom class and add it to the element using
$(element).addClass("myObliqueClass")
.
