Example
Rotate a div element:
div
{
transform:rotate(7deg);
-ms-transform:rotate(7deg); /* IE 9 */
-webkit-transform:rotate(7deg); /* Safari and Chrome */
}
{
transform:rotate(7deg);
-ms-transform:rotate(7deg); /* IE 9 */
-webkit-transform:rotate(7deg); /* Safari and Chrome */
}

Browser Support
The transform property is supported in Internet Explorer 10, Firefox, and Opera.
Internet Explorer 9 supports an alternative, the -ms-transform property (2D transforms only).
Safari and Chrome support an alternative, the -webkit-transform property (3D and 2D transforms).
Opera supports 2D transforms only.
Definition and Usage
The transform property applies a 2D or 3D transformation to an element. This property allows you to rotate, scale, move, skew, etc., elements.
