Re: Neon text

You could use an image replacement technique to swap the text out for an image of neon text.

Re: Neon text

No you can't just use CSS. You'll need to use an image.

Re: Neon text

CSS3 has a "text-shadow" property that will solve your problem. Until then -- well actually, you might be able to do it using different font-sizes and colors, transparent backgrounds, and z-index. It would be fun to try, but it's not very practical.

Well, now there's a challenge. Lemme' try.

Formatted for Firefox, it's a bit off in IE.
I know some of you peeps can do a lot better.

Re: Neon text

Yeah, I was going to suggest text-shadow as well. It's fairly well supported and it could give you a pretty close neon effect.
