I used to have the HTML code for flaming text saved onto my computer, but, alas, it was lost to the depths of time.

Or a harddrive wipe, whatever.

COuld someone tell me the code required to make flaming text?

Thanks in advance.

Sure it wasn't a java applet? I don't recall a simple html command that would give flaming text.

Quite sure. It wouldn't move, but it would make what looked sort of like fire extend from the text.

I know what you're talking about and I used to know it. I'll check around and see if I can find it.

It the IE-only Filter option in CSS. To use it, you'd normally do something like:

Code: Select all

<span style="Filter: Glow(color=#CCBB22, strength=5)">Your text here</span>

(off the top of my head, I haven't checked that syntax)
... but it doesn't seem to work on the forums like that.

Not quite sure how the effect was being achieved before.

If thats what he's talking about, I wouldn't consider that fire, in any case, did it use any images?

flaming text isn't really an "HTML" task per say, but I suppose it could be done.
