yeah you re not going to have much luck i think  Typically across the 3 drawing methods the major browsers use  Canvas  SVG  VML   text support is poor  I believe  If you want to rotate an image  then it s all good  but if you ve got mixed content with formatting and styles  probably not   Check out RaphaelJS for a cross-browser drawing API

I doubt you can rotate an element using DOM CSS   Your best bet would be to render to a canvas and rotate that  not sure on the specifics

To rotate  a DIV Make use of WebkitTransform   -moz-transform  rotate Xdeg     This will not work in IE  The Raphael library does work with IE and it does rotation  I believe it uses canvases  If you want to animate the rotation  you can use a recursive setTimeout    You could probably even do part of a spin with jQuery s  animate    Make sure that you consider the width of your element  If rotate an that has a larger width than its visible content  you ll get funny results  However you can narrow the widths of elements  and then rotate them   Here is a simply jQuery snippet that rotates the elements in a jQuery object  Rotatation can be started and stopped     function         var  elie     selectorForElementsToRotate       rotate 0       function rotate degree                  For webkit browsers  e g  Chrome          elie css   WebkitTransform   rotate     degree    deg                   For Mozilla browser  e g  Firefox          elie css    -moz-transform    rotate     degree    deg                    Animate rotation with a recursive call         setTimeout function     rotate   degree     5               jsFiddle example  Note  Taking the degree and increasing it  will rotate the image clockwise  Decreasing the degree of rotation will rotate the image counter clockwise
