I’m trying to set up a little 45 degree banner in the bottom right of my page with CSS powered links, is there any way to rotate text 45 degrees to go along the banner or will I need to make them images and map it out??

For 45degress I don’t think it’s possible, I know you can for 90 degrees tho. ---

Apparently there’s some way to do it with IE Filters but the post I found that in was super old. I was hoping there was some update to CSS or something. I dunno, I needa stop being crappy and just make it an image. \ ---

What could be possible is to use php to create an image and put the text in this image so that it is rotated. ---
