Answer 1

To rotate a DIV we can add some CSS that, well, rotates the DIV using CSS transform rotate.

To toggle the rotation we can keep a flag, a simple variable with a boolean value that tells us what way to rotate.

var rotated = false;

document.getElementById('button').onclick = function() {
    var div = document.getElementById('div'),
        deg = rotated ? 0 : 66;

    div.style.webkitTransform = 'rotate('+deg+'deg)'; 
    div.style.mozTransform    = 'rotate('+deg+'deg)'; 
    div.style.msTransform     = 'rotate('+deg+'deg)'; 
    div.style.oTransform      = 'rotate('+deg+'deg)'; 
    div.style.transform       = 'rotate('+deg+'deg)'; 

    rotated = !rotated;
}

var rotated = false;

document.getElementById('button').onclick = function() {
    var div = document.getElementById('div'),
        deg = rotated ? 0 : 66;

    div.style.webkitTransform = 'rotate('+deg+'deg)'; 
    div.style.mozTransform    = 'rotate('+deg+'deg)'; 
    div.style.msTransform     = 'rotate('+deg+'deg)'; 
    div.style.oTransform      = 'rotate('+deg+'deg)'; 
    div.style.transform       = 'rotate('+deg+'deg)'; 
    
    rotated = !rotated;
}

#div {
    position:relative; 
    height: 200px; 
    width: 200px; 
    margin: 30px;
    background: red;
}

<button id="button">rotate</button>
<br /><br />
<div id="div"></div>
