I'm not sure if I missed this or not, it could already be made... But I was only able to find something close to it for 2.x.x (I need it for 3.0.3)

I was just wondering if someone could make a glow/shadow hack... Allowing you to add a glow or shadow when posting a message. Maybe a glow dropdown menu below the [Color] drop down :D(Same with shadow)

Thanks :D

Someone could modify the Font Color hack to allow glow and otehr effects in posts. Actually, i'll look into that...

Invalid. DIV does not have an attribute "filter".

This won't work as there is no glow/shadow in (X)HTML.

the only way to do a div that works cross browser it to use layers. :(

It's not a bug. Filters are no standard - it's proprietary Microsoft crap.

Whatever, IE users byfar outnumber Netscape and Mozilla combined. Don't use IE then don't use the hacks, simple as that.

it would be good if someone could develop a cross browser solution though
