TheBrotherhood313 Posted August 23, 2005 Share Posted August 23, 2005 Well as many of you may know. When you go to a forum where someone has a glowing colored name. In firefox it just shows up as plain text. In IE it is glowing. Anyway, im wondering if there is a way to make it so this would work in FireFox. If not, its ok. I just wanted to know ^_^ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zhangm Supervisor Posted August 23, 2005 Supervisor Share Posted August 23, 2005 Use an image. The glow is usually the product of a proprietary IE tag. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quillz Posted August 25, 2005 Share Posted August 25, 2005 I don't believe glowing text (like colored scrollbars) are web standardized. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
em_te Posted August 26, 2005 Share Posted August 26, 2005 I don't believe glowing text (like colored scrollbars) are web standardized. 586430263[/snapback] CSS supports the text-shadow style which allows for various effects similar to a glowing text.

turkishdelight Posted August 28, 2005 Share Posted August 28, 2005 The glow you see is an IE-proprietary CSS filter. In other words, it only works in IE. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Commodore Max Posted August 30, 2005 Share Posted August 30, 2005 It's better to just make it an image or something. These days the only thing that's cross-platform compatible is a good old PNG ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
turkishdelight Posted August 30, 2005 Share Posted August 30, 2005 ^ IE transparency, though... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rguy84 Posted August 30, 2005 Share Posted August 30, 2005 IE doesnt like PNG if it's IE 6 or less. I use alpha transparency gif's Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
