The lines still go from top to bottom. They always go from top to bottom
in CSS. I don't know of any language in which lines might be written
bottom to top, although perhaps there are some. You can write characters
top to bottom and lines right-to-left in Chinese or Japanese (in books,
not CSS) but I've never heard of anything going bottom-to-top.
OP could always turn his monitor upside down I suppose.
