Oracle APEX displays report’s column heading 90 degree rotation

Category: APEXittichai @ 4:22 am

One of the cool things about Oracle APEX is ability to embed HTML tags into everything you could display. This includes simple HTML tags like

Add a break

Employee<br>Name

Add color

<font color="#FF0000">Employee Name</font>

1

Or more complex one like -

Rotate 90 degree vertically (work with IE only)

<div style="writing-mode: tb-rl">Employee Name</div>

    That’s a good tip, didn’t know that with the 90 degree html tag.

    That could sometimes save a lot of space.

    Also keep in mind that the rotate 90 degrees will only work in IE > 7. For & or lower you would need to use this nasty hack

    Employee Name
