Glow Effect

jludt

I was wondering if there was a way to make links glow on mouseover without the use of software, using just like a script or something? I searched a round a bit and was unable to find anything, software or script to accomplish this

Basically what you need to do swap in a new image that has the glow built in when a mouseover is detected, and swap in the original on mouseout .. like this:

Just replace the images with the effect you want..

If its text links you're after then it could get a little more complicated ..

The problem you're gonna have with this is that it's not very cross-browser compatible.

Yes, the glow effect is IE-only. And frankly, I put glow up there with the blink tag in terms of annoying HTML.
