Web/CSS/-moz-orient

Non-standard This feature is non-standard and is not on a standards track. Do not use it on production sites facing the Web: it will not work for every user. There may also be large incompatibilities between implementations and the behavior may change in the future.

The -moz-orient CSS property specifies the orientation of the element to which it's applied.

Syntax

The -moz-orient property is specified as one of the keyword values chosen from the list below.

Values

inline: The element is rendered in the same direction as the axis of the text: horizontally for horizontal writing modes, vertically for vertical writing modes.
block: The element is rendered orthogonally to the axis of the text: vertically for horizontal writing modes, horizontal for vertical writing modes.
horizontal: The element is rendered horizontally.
vertical: The element is rendered vertically.
