Creating glowing text using style sheets - text effects in Internet Explorer

Internet Explorer displays several text effects through style sheets. Here I'll show you how to create a glow effect to text using style sheets.

The glow is made using the filter style sheet rule through which we specify the glow color and its strength in pixels. The height and the width rules are important too.
This style can be placed inside the HTML head section, to be called using the CLASS attribute of a <DIV> or <SPAN> tags or the style can be used as an inline style.

Note: These style sheet commands do not work in Netscape 4.7x.
