Vertical bootstrap panel header - html

Question

I am trying to design the vertical bootstrap header panel, and I have almost achieved it using this
.panel
{
position: relative;
}
.panel-default > .panel-leftheading
{
color: #333;
background-color: #f5f5f5;
border-color: #ddd;
}
.panel-primary > .panel-leftheading
{
color: #fff;
background-color: #428bca;
border-color: #428bca;
}
.panel-success > .panel-leftheading
{
color: #3c763d;
background-color: #dff0d8;
border-color: #d6e9c6;
}
.panel-info > .panel-leftheading
{
color: #31708f;
background-color: #d9edf7;
border-color: #bce8f1;
}
.panel-warning > .panel-leftheading
{
color: #8a6d3b;
background-color: #fcf8e3;
border-color: #faebcc;
}
.panel-danger > .panel-leftheading
{
color: #a94442;
background-color: #f2dede;
border-color: #ebccd1;
}
.panel-leftheading
{
width: 42px;
padding: 10px 15px;
border-right: 1px solid transparent;
border-bottom: 1px solid transparent;
border-top-right-radius: 3px;
border-bottom-left-radius: 3px;
border-bottom-right-radius: 3px;
float: left;
height: 100%;
position: absolute;
}
.panel-lefttitle
{
margin-top: 0;
margin-bottom: 0;
margin-left: 15px;
font-size: 16px;
color: inherit;
-webkit-transform: rotate(90deg);
-webkit-transform-origin: left top;
-moz-transform: rotate(90deg);
-moz-transform-origin: left top;
-ms-transform: rotate(90deg);
-ms-transform-origin: left top;
-o-transform: rotate(90deg);
-o-transform-origin: left top;
transform: rotate(90deg);
transform-origin: left top;
position: absolute;
white-space: nowrap;
}
.panel-rightbody
{
float: left;
margin-left: 45px;
padding: 15px;
}

</div>
<div class="clearfix">
</div>
</div>
</div>
</div>
Now the header is set to the vertical but the font alignment is not as expected. the font on the header should be readable and must be horizontal like this image
what css I need to change?

Answer 1

You can remove the transforms and the margin-left and add a width (set as 0 here) smaller than the font-size(16px here) to the get the effect:
.panel-lefttitle {
margin-top: 0;
margin-bottom: 0;
font-size: 16px;
color: inherit;
white-space: pre-wrap;
word-wrap: break-word;
text-align: center;
width: 0;
}
Also note have added in word-wrap: break-word and white-space: pre-wrap for the text to flow vertically preserving whitespaces / line-breaks.

Let me know your feedback on this. Thanks!

Answer 2

You could use manual styling through <br> elements but this would be annoying.
You could wrap every letter into its own <span> element. This would be more comfortable, but still way too static.
Use css. To be more precise, use word-wrap. To do so, you've to adjust your .panel-lefttitle styling like so:
.panel-lefttitle {
width: 0;
word-break: break-word;
margin-top: 0;
margin-bottom: 0;
font-size: 16px;
color: inherit;
position: absolute;
}
You've to set width:0 so every letter gets displayed in a separate line. Live Demo

Answer 3

I have changed the width and the margin of your h3, deleted the transform and changed white-space.
If you want to change the alignment of letters, you can change the text-align.
Here is the solution for your need:
.panel {
position: relative;
}
.panel-default > .panel-leftheading {
color: #333;
background-color: #f5f5f5;
border-color: #ddd;
}
.panel-primary > .panel-leftheading {
color: #fff;
background-color: #428bca;
border-color: #428bca;
}
.panel-success > .panel-leftheading {
color: #3c763d;
background-color: #dff0d8;
border-color: #d6e9c6;
}
.panel-info > .panel-leftheading {
color: #31708f;
background-color: #d9edf7;
border-color: #bce8f1;
}
.panel-warning > .panel-leftheading {
color: #8a6d3b;
background-color: #fcf8e3;
border-color: #faebcc;
}
.panel-danger > .panel-leftheading {
color: #a94442;
background-color: #f2dede;
border-color: #ebccd1;
}
.panel-leftheading {
width: 42px;
padding: 10px 15px;
border-right: 1px solid transparent;
border-bottom: 1px solid transparent;
border-top-right-radius: 3px;
border-bottom-left-radius: 3px;
border-bottom-right-radius: 3px;
float: left;
height: 100%;
position: absolute;
}
.panel-lefttitle {
margin-top: 0;
margin-bottom: 0;
margin-left: 0px;
font-size: 16px;
color: inherit;
position: absolute;
white-space: pre-wrap;
word-wrap: break-word;
width: 7px;
line-height: 16px;

}
.panel-rightbody {

Answer 4

This might be helpful. I converted each letter into a span-element and rotated each one. It is not quite beautiful, but demonstrates how this could be solved.
I only added some JavaScript to achieve your desired behavior.
This code comes (partly) from Matt Whipple's answer in this post.
$(function() {
$(".panel-lefttitle").html(("<span>" + $(".panel-lefttitle").html().split("").join("</span><span>") + "</span>"));
$(".panel-lefttitle span").each(function() {
$(this).css({
"-webkit-transform": "rotate(-90deg)",
"display": "inline-block",
"letter-spacing": "1em"
});
});
});
