Does anyone know how to add a glow/halo effect to a whole div tag that works in IE, Firefox, and Netscape?

Question

That would look kind of like this, obviously without the rounded corners:

Thanks.

At least the music works because I stopped being retarded.

I guess I could put layers of opaque divs lol.

Answer 1

OK I'm retarded... disregard the last message.

There is no foolproof way to get the effect you are looking for using just code. You need to use a graphics program to simulate the effect.

IE supports some Microsoft-specific CSS extensions that would sort of accomplish what you want, but not as smoothly. Firefox/NS support transparent PNGs, but IE does not.

Answer 2

These effect are often achieved through a div containing a set of background images using css:
background-position: right bottom ...
and then another div within that div with
background-position left top
so that the overall div may stretch
The gifs would have transparency toward the center so the text could show through. One place in which you may find deep detail is cited below.
