Rotate HTML output?

liunx · Jan 9, 2008

I need to rotate my output 90 degrees clockwise or counter-clockwise to get the landscape effect. Selecting a landscape page layout won't work with the setup we have (we're trying to print barcode's on a Zebra printer). Is there any way to rotate the barcode font via the html so the barcode is up-down rather than right-left? Thanks for the help!OMG

HAHA ROFLOLis the bar code a graphic or are you doing it straight html? 
 
if straight html you could put tags after every line.We're using 3of9 Barcode font, so I don't think will work.what about making the font size smaller?I think (and I use that term very loosely) that it might be possible in XML, but stuffed if I know how it's done. 
 
However, after a little judicious use of Mr. Google and his Mighty Algorithms (don't miss their latest CD "Full Body Cavity Search!") this:<text font-family="serif" font-size=" 12pt" fill="black" x="0" y="0" 
transform="rotate(-90) translate(-100, 180) scale(1.5, 1)"> 
Your text here. 
</text> might help. It's from <a class="postlink" href="http://www.nwfusion.com/columnists/2001/0611gearhead.html">http://www.nwfusion.com/columnists/2001 ... rhead.html</a> and obviously you have to change the code to suit your circumstances. 
 
You'll probably need the appropriate DTD which according to the above article is:<?xml version="1.0" encoding="iso-8859-1"?> 
<!DOCTYPE svg PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD SVG 20000303 
Stylable//EN" "<A HREF=http://www.htmlforums.com/archive/index.php/"http://www.w3.org/TR/2000/03/WD-SVG- 
20000303/DTD/svg-20000303-stylable.dtd"> 
<a class="postlink" href="http://www.w3.org/TR/2000/03/WD-SVG-20000303/DTD/svg-">http://www.w3.org/TR/2000/03/WD-SVG-20000303/DTD/svg-</a> 
20000303-stylable.dtd</A>"> 
 
Mind you, I haven't tested this (nor read the article in full) and it mightn't be a solution at all. Then again, ya never know, I might actually have given useful information - for once.

For both our sakes, I hope this helps. 
 
NeilTry this, out of Redmond: 
 
<html> 
<head> 
</head> 
<body bgcolor="#c0c0c0"> 
<script type="text/javascript" language="JavaScript"> 
 
function spin90() { 
var i = 0; 
i = ++i % 4; 
if (!document.all.aDiv.style.filter) { 
document.all.aDiv.style.filter = 
'progid

XImageTransform.Microsoft.BasicImage(rotation=' + i + ')'; 
} else { 
document.all.aDiv.filters.item('DXImageTransform.Microsoft.BasicImage').Rotation = i; 
} 
} 
 
</script> 
 
<form><input type="button" value="rotate by 90 deg" onclick="spin90()"></form> 
 <div align="center"> 
<div id="aDiv" style="width:100px;font-size:66px;background:ivory;border:3px double;"> 
|||||||||||</div> 
</div> 
</body> 
</html>

your code worked perfectly, except for one thing, when I try to print, it reverts back to the normal orientation. Is there anything i can do to avoid this?Maybe this question is not relevant, but why are you printing barcodes on an HTML page? Does that actually work? Can a bar code reader read the bar code? 
 
KevinOur inventory system is internet based, and we print our packing labels from it (on a Zebra printer). The bar code reader has no problem with HTML barcodes but you have to have "3 of 9" font installed on the PC your printing from. 
 
One of the places we ship to requested a specific format for these labels, this format requires us to print one of the barcodes vertically.OK, that is very interesting. Thanks for answering.
