Im trying to figure out how to make shopping cart tab that would be positioned on the right corner and also rotated 90 degrees. The rotation naturally mixes the position but maybe there's a workaround of wrapping to different wrappers etc....
Extra points if there wouldn't need to define width. I don't care about older browsers
To rotate text at 90° using CSS, consider using writing-mode.
Set position: relative; on the parent div, then use something like this on the rotated element:
#rot {
position: absolute; /* only handy here because its parent is set to `position: relative;` */
left: 0;
top: 0px;
/* writing-mode: sideways-lr; /* Webkit browsers don't support `sideways-lr` yet */
writing-mode: vertical-rl; /* `vertical-rl` and a rotation will achieve the same effect */
transform: scaleX(-1) scaleY(-1);
height: 100%;
background: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.1);
text-align: center;
line-height: 2.85;
color: white;
font-weight: bold;
}
You'll end up with a div stacked on the side of your parent div, with the text at a 90° angle.
This way you don't have to think about the rotation origin.
If you need to position wrapper div.and rotate child div so that its always centered vertically and horizontally, try something like this!
.togglewrap{
position:relative;
float:left;left:20%;top:0;
width:30px;
height:120px;
background-color: #ffde21;
}
.sbartoggle {
background:#f5f5f5;
position:absolute;
left:0;
top:0;
right:0;
bottom:0;
margin:auto;
width:100%;
height:30px;/*equal to parent width*/
line-height:30px;/*center text*/
transform: rotate(-90deg);
background-size:10px 10px;
}
