A tech question for my web-writing guru friends.

[reynardo]

I'm working for a place that wants to put up web pages with enormous tables in them. The tables must be on the web page - no "please click here and we'll give you a very nice PDF with the neat and nice table on it".

One of the table has rather long column headings, and the person who made it (in Word) wants the headings to sit vertically in the Heading column. Unfortunately neither I nor my companion here can work out how to do it. We can turn text vertical for the whole table, but not just for one row.

Any ideas?

Oh, and the simplest solution (that will work with all browsers, even older ones) is to turn the text into question into an image. Just make sure that that you include the full text in the alt text for the image.

It's not a good solution but it's better than fucking about with system specific filters.
