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 ? ^^

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?

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.

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