html - Text overflowing out of div using transform: rotate(xdeg)

Question

Using the css attribute transform: rotate(); works fine but when using it under horizontally oriented text it displayed outside of the div but I want it to display it within. I tried a lot with the display, position, left, top, float etc. attribute but nothing worked. Any ideas?

Here is the css-code for the vertical text:

width:130px;
height:50px;
-ms-transform:rotate(270deg); /* IE 9 */
-moz-transform:rotate(270deg); /* Firefox */
-webkit-transform:rotate(270deg); /* Safari and Chrome */
-o-transform:rotate(270deg); /* Opera */

Here is the example to try: http://jsfiddle.net/ty6Zj/

Answer 1

You should use transform-origin property for that

transform-origin: 40px 20px;

Note: You've used all proprietary declarations for transform, should use a standard one as well..

transform:rotate(270deg);

Also, make sure you have this at the end of the proprietary properties...
