Gradebook

Some of the teachers in the school I work for have asked me if it was possible to have the headers (names of assignments) to show vertically instead of horizontally in the gradebook. This was due to very wide gradebooks being created and quite annoying to look at.

We only use IE in our school (we need ActiveX for some activities) so I decided to hack into the grade/report/grader/styles.php to allow this. This hack only works with IE but does not break anything in Firefox/Safari/Opera. The piece of code that I have included in the hack is Windows proprietary but has been (apparently) contributed to be put into CSS3? If anyone knows of a cross-browser CSS function which would achieve the same result, please let me know

I have attached a version of my new styles.php file with the changes commented.

I have also created a new feature in the tracker MDL - 16743 so if you like it, you could vote for it to be included in the core

Cheers, Fred
