Issue with "glow" effect on IE

RJ · Mar 17, 2005

This one has me stumped. I'm trying to add a glowing username effect to the homepage of NamePros for those users who have the glow, but I can't see the glow in IE.

Code:

<a href="member.php?u=5405" title="Last online at 02:08 PM"><span style="filter:glow(color=#00bfff, strength=2);height=1px">csmaster2005</span></a>

See anything wrong with that ? ^^

Try a capital G in glow, thats how it is in the posts

Nope, no luck with the capital "G" either.

I know nothing about this,
this was random but try replacing<span style="filter:glow with <span style="glow

hmmm.. ya..if it is glowing in non php with that exact code..then it is most likely the " messing it up. change that too ' instead of "

When it prints out, is there another <span> or <div> tag before the one you show here?

RJ · Mar 18, 2005

You can see it live on the NamePros homepage, for the users logged in today. I can't find what it's conflicting with.

Its the doctype causing the problem

Code:

<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
<span style="filter:glow(color=#00bfff, strength=2);height=1px">csmaster2005</span>

doesnt work

Code:

<span style="filter:glow(color=#00bfff, strength=2);height=1px">csmaster2005</span>

works

Looks like you're right, Adam! I'd never even considered the doctype type statement.

I removed the doctype statement and the glow colors showed up on the homepage. However doing that caused my tables to become misaligned with some text being cutoff. yikes! Strangely, the glow works fine on the threadview pages, even with the doctype in place.

thanks for the np$

its odd that it works on other pages. there might be a hack of some kind that can help you out thats been applied to other pages but not the main pages. maybe contact vb to see what they can suggest.

I dont' see any glow or shadow effects in Mozilla..

nomis135 · Mar 19, 2005

i don't see that in netscape either.

adam_uk · Mar 19, 2005

the glow is a ie only effect so if you dont use ie you wont see it.

Heh, never liked those glows (suggestion: Why not get rig of them, -RJ-, it's bloody ugly! lol), maybe I should switch to Mozilla or something after all...

I think you defently should. Just with reading this you are beeing attaced by bugs and viruses while i can surf in safty 24/7.. :D Anyway, people have baught glow eve though i have no interest in it, i think it should still be usable to people who want it

Oh no worries, I am very safe, surfing in IE* is no biggie for me; tons of secure settings (not only for my browser, of course, but 'all over my pc') and softwares are taking care of that. Yeah, I know "they all think that"

, but trust me, I know what I am doing.
BTW, the more people are switching to Mozilla/FireFox, the more those browsers will start to be compromised/exploited. It's already happening.

* In a tasty AvantBrowser flavor, of course!
