Image orientation changes

Hi,

I have written a page that recreates a tarot card reading using drag
and drop. It's all well and good but one last thing is bothering me.
In a Celtic cross tarot card reading there is a card that crosses the
signifer. What this means in web page terms is that I need to be able
to display an image at a different orientation. Rather than have the
image top pointing upwards I need the top of the image to point left.
Now as this image can be any one of the cards in the deck I don't want
to recreate each of them as a different version with the correct
orientation I want to use the same image but adjust the orientation on
the page.

Ideally I would also like to use some sort of drag animation for the
card back when I deal (drag) a card onto this position (currently I
use an alternate image with the card back rotated 90 degrees)

Anyone seen anything that can achieve this ?

Thanks in advance

I'm not against flash all together--what OP wants is some fancy
animation which flash is far better suited than HTML+JavaScript. Use
flash. What I object to is flash used to make a general site where HTML
is better suited.

Re: Image orientation changes

Thanks for the help guys. I don't want to use FLASH (it's a bit of
overkill just to rotate one image) but I have found a php snippet that
might work or apparently for IE only there is a rotate property on the
BasicImage object so I might be able to compromise and allow the IE
guys to see the whole thing and everyone else to see a slightly
different screen (if the php doesn;t work)

Thanks for your help though.

I just get all excited when someone other than myself says something
like that.

They don't mean it - they just say so to get you excited, and then...

Wife? Since when are alt.html'ers allowed to have a wife? Or life?

PS: Travis, email to your address bounces back.

Here we go again! Flash is mentioned and _the big point_ will
come up of course: Use Flash where appropriate and not when not
appropriate. Travis even claps the use of this moronic truism.
Poor Jonathan, making initially a perfectly good point, is drawn
into a little merry go around not of his making. You Boji just
blunder in not realising the seriousness of the mess we are in.

(Richard.... piss off).

Actually, I think "Poor Jonathan" is as screwy as you. But it matters
little outside of newsgroupland. (Get it? -little/Little) In the scope of
a realistic world, the only time the big point truly comes up is when I
contemplate a whisker biscuit.

And dorayme will bitch about it in the usual "i'm pms'ing again"
fashion...

Is it my fault that this never comes at a monthly mid cycle point?
