Rotating an image using css

Question

I'd like to rotate an image on a webpage through four orientations at 90 degrees apart. I'd prefer this to happen on the client machines. Can this be done using css? Or will I need to use javascript?

Thank you for your time.

Solution 1

You can do it in Firefox using these CSS transforms - as for other browsers, I think you'll need Javascript. I'd recommend you perhaps take a look at the Raphael library.

Solution 2

It is possible however only for new browsers.

Best Link I could find (Chrome / Safari / Firefox) with example

Sample source code (Safari/Chrome)

Sample source code (Firefox)

SO post containing code for IE Webkit and Firefox

Solution 3

Afraid you're gonna have to use some javascript for that - CSS cannot do this currently

Thank you for the links. Some interesting effects here! At the moment though, it looks like I will have use javascript until browsers catch up.
