forgot to say, is it April fool?

Yes, probably is, this must be the code for it,
<div style="width: 100%; height: 100%; -moz-transform: rotate(180deg); -webkit-transform: rotate(180deg); -ms-transform: rotate(180deg); -o-transform: rotate(180deg); transform: rotate(180deg);">

Yup, thats it,

Yep, CSS3 can do amazing things...as long as you leave out almost all MS browsers. IE9 does pretty well, but you'll need javascript for all the older ones. Along with all the "benefits" that brings.

Of course, many functions of CSS3 still require browser specific prefixes to make things work everywhere (Mozilla=-moz-, Webkit=-webkit-, Opera=-o-, Microsoft=-ms-, etc=-4-1-).

The best of all April fool jokes, was the one many years ago in Yachting magazine. It was a funny article that said that if you drill holes in your propeller, that you would never have a problem with cavitation any more.
And some people actually believed it!  In Woods Hole, one guy actually did it to his prop and was so mad that he wanted to sue the guy who put the article up.
Pretty expensive joke for that guy.
