How can i achieve a text-glow effect in ie(7+)?

the question says it all xD

Using CSS, JQuery Or both how can i make text glow.

Is it possible?

Solution

  • Text glow is dead easy in CSS3, using text-shadow.

    However, neither IE7 nor IE8 support this feature at all, and I don't know of any hacks that can make it work in these browsers. (other CSS3 features can be hacked into IE7/8, using tools like CSS3Pie, but not text-shadow as far as I know.

    So unfortunately I think you're out of luck.

    If you're okay with this solution not working in IE7 and IE8, then there's a reference on how to do it here: http://www.w3.org/Style/Examples/007/text-shadow (see the bottom section of the page for glowing effects)
