IE VML text letters rotated 90 degrees counter-clockwise

[elbeau]

In two places in vml.js you will see the line:

t.style["v-rotate-letters"]=s.rotated;

Apparently, no matter what the value of s.rotated is, if the v-rotate-letters attribute exists, then IE applies it as if v-rotate-letters is true;

In other words, changing the line of code to say:

t.style["v-rotate-letters"]=false;

...does NOTHING to fix the problem, you must:

if (s.rotated) {
    t.style["v-rotate-letters"]=s.rotated;
}

or IE will always print your letters rotated 90 degrees counter-clockwise.

Oops...forgot to enclose it in a code block...the line actually looks like:

t.style["v-rotate-letters"]=s.rotated;

Bumping from non-existant 1.5.1 to 1.6.

Need patch that reliably removes the attribute.

Given that VML only impacts IE8, and that no patch has emerged in 5+ years, I'm closing as patchwelcome. If someone wants to provide a patch that reliably removes the attribute, please reopen and provide a pull request per our current contributing guidelines, ​https://github.com/dojo/dojo/blob/master/CONTRIBUTING.md
