Glowing Text. (Ooh, I love it.)

[l_o0o_stace_o0o_l]

This is by far my favorite code. When I first made my website I was always irritated on finding an image for my background as my text would dissappear in some parts of the picture. Anyway, for any of you out there who have the same problem, or just want glowing text...here you go.

<span style="width: 150; height: 50; font-size: 20px; font-family: verdana; color: #ff00cc; filter: glow(color=#00ff00, strength=10)">Your Text here</span>

Explanation: Pretty much all self exlanatory...if you have any questions however feel free to post them here...

*Note: This code is meant for Internet Explorer Browsers, it may not look properly in others.*

I also have...
<span style="position:relative; width:150; height:25; filter:glow(color=#00ff00,strength=2)"> <A href="http://www.yourpagehere.com">Your page here.</A></SPAN>

For glowing Links. ^_^

And even more...I have other codes for Wave, shadow blur, opacity, flip, dropshadow, and blur. Feel free to request a code by naming it in a reply. ^_^

This is more HTML then it is a design resource. Decent code though :D

Yea I like that code but since I rarely use IE I don't get to use it much.

[mahangee]

I think it is bad practice using HTML that only works for IE, as a large chunk of people, now use alternative browsers. (Can you blame us?)

Could you please include an example. :D As I am currently on windows using IE (rare) I would like to see it.

[l_o0o_stace_o0o_l]

Hum. I am not sure of how to put the example directly on the forum. However, if you want you may go to my site...

yea, this is IE proprietary code, just like the scrollbar thingy and such. It's cool, like I like the scrollbar thingy too, but they are deprecated by W3C though as they can only be viewed in IE.
Oh well, I am using FireFox... :)

[GoDiddly]

its nice but the text is still difficult to read. Im on Firefox and id highlight the text to read it rather then open IE.

Even funnier, CSS2 specifies how to do exactly this kind of effect, but neither Firefox (or any of the Mozilla browsers, for that matter) nor IE support it, where Safari does.

Don't know how Opera handles it, because the Mac version sucks bad, and iCab (also on the Mac) can't even handle CSS1 properly yet.

Practically screams for the adoption of standards, doesn't it?

You can also do a shadow effect using filter:shadow(color=[your color])
:D

Nice effect in IE, but I use FF...

It can get a little sloppy, too, if you use the wrong colors, so I stay way from filters.

That's the problem: Filters only work with IE.
