In the history of the internet, there have been some stupid
things done with web sites. There has been pages dedicated
to weird cults, dancing hamsters and cults that worship
the dancing hamsters. Well, by now you should know what
to do and what not to do with your domain. What category
would this fit under? Definitely, this would be classified
under the "not" pile.
Cascading Style Sheets (CSS) allow you to create glowing
text on your web site. It's really fairly simple indeed!
Here is an example:
Here's how it was done:
<table style="filter:GLOW(color=gray, strength=5)">
<tr><td>
<font color="red" size="5">
TotalChoice Rocks!
</font>
</td></tr></table>
By adding a style attribute with a "glow" filter
to the table, the text will have a glowing appearance. I'll
admit, this could look cool maybe used once or twice on a
page for the right reason but can you imagine what it would
be like to read a whole web site coded like this? That would
be very annoying.
Cascading Style Sheets (CSS) allow you to create shadowed
text on your web site. It's really fairly simple indeed!
Here's a sample of shadowed text:
Here's how it was done:
<table style="filter:SHADOW(color=gray, strength=4)">
<tr><td>
<font color="red">
TotalChoice Rocks!
</font>
</td></tr></table>
By adding a style attribute with a "shadow" filter
to the table, the text will have a shaded appearance. Unless
your mass-producing wanted posters, once again I don't see
why anybody would want to use this more than once or twice
on a page.
You can set the shadow color to any color you like. You
can also set the strength of the shadow. Some browsers still
do not support these tags, so if this just seems real confusing
because you do not see anything, do not worry. Now it's
your turn to play with your new abilities and see if you
can find any real uses for these stupid font tricks.
