Question
The following css creates a nice neon-glow effect around text
{
text-shadow: 0em 0em 0.3em white; /* assuming a dark background */
}
However it doesn't work in IE7/8
For a reference, compare this page in Firefox and IE
Is there a way to get a similar effect in it?
Solution
Won't work in IE8, since text-shadow
is a feature of upcoming CSS3. However you might add a secondary rule for IE7/8, called filter:Glow
(invalid CSS syntax, proprietary to Microsoft).
You can get more info on MSDN.
OTHER TIPS
As you noticed, text-shadow only works in modern browsers. IE has something that might help in their proprietary filters called glow but I don't know anything beyond that.
