It's been a while since i found this gimmick --and a while since i worked on the site design at all-- so i don't know the intricacies anymore, but i do remember it took me a day to get it working...
This is the code i'm using:
A.nav:link,A.nav:visited,A.nav:active {width:inherit;height:14;font:10pt "Verdana","Arial";color:#FFFFFF;text-decoration:none;filter:glow(Color=#000099,Strength=2)}
A.nav:hover {width:inherit;height:14;font:10pt "Verdana","Arial";color:#FFFFFF;text-decoration:none;filter:glow(Color=#FFFFFF,Strength=2)}
Frankly, i don't understand most of it, but (as you can see in the nav panel of http://www.gamesphere.com) it's white text with blue glow in normal state, and white text with white glow when the mouse is hovering over it.
At least, that's what it used to be. It may not have looked that great, but it was pretty good, definately considering my abilities.
However when i now look at it using my laptop (not sure if it's an IE update or the LCD screen, or the lower-than-1280x1024 screen res) there's blue visible on a mouse-over. Anyway, i'm certain i'm not using it right simply because i copied it from the official CSS site and i had to modify it to get it to work (i'm guessing that's why i added the "width:inherit" and "height:14" parts).
While we're at it, feel free to suggest design changes, but either way, i'd prefer to get it working out of sheer curiosity, regardless of whether or not i end up using it...
Thanks fella's!
