My problem is that when you put a word in glow, it showes up on its own line, see what I mean.

Is there going to be a fix for this, or has anyone else noticed this?

If you look at the source code for the page, you'll see that the glow effect is being created by applying a CSS filter to the data in a table (which is a block level element). Why it was coded that way I don't know, but it should be possible to do what you want by applying the same filter to an inline element.

Has to be a table, Internet Explorer won't give it the glow effect otherwise.  (it either has to have a fixed width or be a table.)

I know, because I subsequently tried modifying Subs.php to make it a span and a few other things, but the thought was there!

You can however add style="display: inline;" to the table, in most cases.

did i get it right? the glow-function won´t work with Ineternet Explorer, if try to make it in the same line like the other text?  

Why?

Well, the glow function *ONLY* works with Internet Explorer... however, it can be on the same line with some work.  You can see it done here:

Because, as [Unknown] has explained, it needs to be in a table to work and a table is a block level element by default!

You can however add style="display: inline;" to the table, in most cases.

You'd also need to do something about the vertical alignment to make it look right in this case. But, while we're on the subject, there are two cases of missing colons in the Subs.php lines controlling glow and shadow:

Code Select Expand

"'<table style=\"border 0px;\">

Which should read:

Code Select Expand

"'<table style=\"border: 0px;\">

Yeah, I saw that it worked in SMF, which is why I posted in here (I thought I had messed up the yabbse install somehow, but after seeing the same result on this board, I knew differently).  I am waiting impatiently for the SMF to be out for the rest of us to get into.
