True Cal, I overlooked that, although NS is a piece of crap anyhow so why support it? lol j/k

I completely agree, but for some reason lots of people use it.

Just a thought

Cal, feel free to move this post if you like because it's not really on the topic, but why do you think people still insist on using Netscape products when MSIE is so much more widely supported? Just looking for an opinion here. I mean I guess some people like the feel of it or whatever, but the limitations it seems to have (at least prior to the version 6, I haven't tried that one) seem to far outweight what some people might have as a preference to the interface?

thanks people

i think those people who use netscape don`t like microsoft...

Recently I've been less than impressed with NS's product. IE seems to load faster and render this quicker and more accurately.

However, IE 5.5(WIN) was a kick in the side. It was much slower than previous releases. Also, MS seems determined to mess around with standards. If they don't use W3C standards, the life of a web designer is going to be complete hell (even more than it is now).

I've seen NS 6, and I'm fairly pleased with it. Although the default skin is ugly, it ca be changed. Looks don't necessarily mean the product works great. NS 6's new rendering engine Gecko seems to work really great tho (fully compliant with W3C standards too!)

5.5 is slow as hell, but at least it doesn't crash when it sees perfectly fine HTML (reference to the NS table & form bug).

NS 6 is slow as you like and the rendering engine is still very filckery when resizing.

I personally can't understand why people use NS. Accept if they use Macs, but that's a different story.

Just a thought

Just wanna say that IE 5.5 loads just as quickly as 5.0 if you don't use an upgrade, I'm useing 5,5 integrated in Windows ME Beta
and it seems to work great for me..
BTW, if we still look at the topic I still wonder why the power of the glow does not be different even if I change the value for it, and how do I change the colour of the text inside the glow ?

I'd like to point out that if you decide to use RangerRob's instructions above, then you MUST add the indicated line after all FOUR status types. I thought that if I didn't want to have my Junior Members glowing, I could just leave the line out. But testing it I saw that all of the JM's names had been replaced by member names. I couldn't tell if there was a pattern as to which JM name got replaced with which member name, but nevertheless the fact remains that it did happen to me (5.45c). So add it to all four! hehe

I should probably add that if you DON'T want Junior Members or any particular group to not glow, you should remove everything from inside the opening TABLE tags. I tried setting the strength to zero but to me it looked the same as 1, and anything higher than that, too me, looked to blurry.

Another note. I tried substituting SPAN for TABLE, but the end result in IE was no effect (no glowing). I didn't even bother to see what it looked like in NS, one way or the other, because my stats show 83% of my visitors are using IE5, and most of the rest are IE4.

I used shadow instead of glow..it fit better with the layout.

------------------

here Is what I did, ok to change the inside color of glowing text, just simple find out the b4 you add the line and change it to what you want

my question is that the value of strength does anything? cos I try to put 1, 500, and even deleted the strength="#5", it stills work the same, so......anyone know/
