I was sort of surprised at first seeing such a great browser doesn't have this feature...I always thought that since in the effects store, where there is a 'test box' whenever I put selected a 'glow' color, it never added a glow, so I thought its a flaw with the shop. A few days ago, I asked broken to test it for me, and he was using internet explorer, and it worked for him! So I decided to check it out on IE and was dumbfounded! WTF!? It works on IE but not FireFox. I'm sure many of you are using FireFox. Is there any solution to this problem or can we all request this feature from Mozilla? Thanks...

It's probably using IE's filter attribute. No solution in that case.

I know its a filter problem, FireFox doesn't even have the shadow filter attribute. I think there was a plugin for FireFox 0.8 that added this functionality but I don't know where to get that :/...

There is no way that IE is better. Firefox is the king of all browsers. Yea I had the same problem as Eric when I tried to test in the effects store. I will try agin in IE. |

It's a remnant of the browser wars.

No, IE went against w3c specs.
That's bad. Bad IE.

IMHO, text glows suck. It really adds no functionality. It's just for looks; if you use IE for that, you're sacrificing memory and speed for a proprietary text effect that is not standards-compliant. I don't mind if the Firefox team does not add this "feature".
I do occassionally use IE for those things and for testing, but Firefox is my default browser for everything else. The glow effect is included with the store mod, and leave it for those who may want it  |

I only use IE for watching good layouts I've made fall apart and me having to sacrifice things to make it look right.

Isn't it a great feeling though, when you create a layout and switch to IE, and you don't have to make any drastic changes!
I just get this warm happy feeling inside, like I've accomplished the impossible.

One thing that doesn't really surprise me, but annoys me, is that Firefox can't handle pages that were designed with Microsoft Office. I don't know whether FrontPage just doesn't know HTML, or if the "proprietary" markup is intentional, unavoidable or somehow desirable, but it results in webpages with 20 or so different objects laid on top of one another such that none is visible, let alone useful.
I've briefly examined some of the source for one of these sites, and sure enough, it was done in FrontPage. The place works in IE, but for some reason (that I can't quite figure out), it fails miserably with Firefox. I depend on the page for one of my classes, so it's quite a pain.
Also, in the same vein, Firefox 1.0 has taken a step backward in terms of how it deals with JavaScript. It used to be that I could open JS popup windows on every site I visited, but not so anymore. I've tried disabling pop-up blocking/single-page mode, but to no avail. Although I was finally able to get one site to work by adjusting some settings with one-page mode, the others still don't work.
It's a funny thing about the new version of Firefox, because some things have been improved (find on page, some extensions, some security stuff), but I seem to get less functionality with 1.0 than with 0.9. On the up side, the upgrade was the smoothest I've ever experienced with any program, Firefox or otherwise. |
