Flipping images on your web page

If you're seeing it the right way up, you're using Mozilla, Firefox, Safari, Netscape or almost any other browser ... except Internet Explorer. With Internet Explorer, it might be up side down!
This is no "failure" on the part of some versions of Internet Explorer - it's just that the img tag in Internet Explorer allows style="Filter:FlipV" to flip an image vertical, whereas that tag isn't defined for other browser. Best avoid it, I think!
I came across a need to flip an image the other day ... which is why my research lead me to that discovery; in most situations, I would simply have used Photoshop to invert the image but as the image in question was a dynamic feed from a webcam, that option wasn't open to me.
Let's see what I can do ...
Yep, that's better (and, yes, PHP again ;-) source code )
and Yet more pictures!
