Rotating a Div Element in jQuery

Viewed 121801

Trying to rotate a div element...This might be DOM blasphemy, could it work possibly with a canvas element? I'm not sure - if anybody has any ideas of how this could work or why it doesn't, I'd love to know. Thanks.

yeah you're not going to have much luck i think. Typically across the 3 drawing methods the major browsers use (Canvas, SVG, VML), text support is poor, I believe. If you want to rotate an image, then it's all good, but if you've got mixed content with formatting and styles, probably not.

Check out RaphaelJS for a cross-browser drawing API.

I doubt you can rotate an element using DOM/CSS. Your best bet would be to render to a canvas and rotate that (not sure on the specifics).
