Rotating a div element

Question

Is it possible to rotate a div element using Javascript & NOT using HTML 5?

If so what attributes of the element do I set/change to make it rotate? Ie, div.what?

Answer 1

If you are looking for a way to do it instantaneously, than you can use element.style.transform = "rotateZ(90deg");
Make sure to use quotes around the CSS statement.

If you want it over the duration of, say, a second (I know you don't want this, I am just doing it anyways), you can put
element.style.transition = "1s"; element.style.transform = "rotateZ(90deg)";
