Display Text in Vertical Direction using CSS
Last modified on January 25th, 2017 by Vincy.
In this tutorial, we are going to see how to display a text in the vertical orientation. We use CSS for displaying a floating text in the vertical direction. In this example, we are having a background image with a transparent vertical tagline to show a text. The floating vertical text will provide a rich and modern look.
HTML and CSS to Display Vertical Caption
The following code shows the HTML and the styles required to display a vertical caption for a background image. Using CSS, we rotate the text with 90-degree angle left to display it in the vertical orientation. And we used a transparent tagline to display the vertical caption for the background.
<style>
#vertical-orientation {
float: left;
transform: rotate(90deg);
transform-origin: left top 0;
margin-left: 50px;
padding: 10px;
background-color: rgba(37, 34, 34, 0.3);
opacity: 0.9;
font-size: 1.8em;
color: #FFF;
text-transform: uppercase;
}
#image-golf {
background:url("golf.jpg");
width: 600px;
height: 350px;
}
</style>
