I'm trying the new text-stroke features and I've searched the web for a cross browser solution. For now I only could find it with webkit properties.
-webkit-text-stroke: 2px #FF1E00;
Could you let me know if there is a way so all browsers will display in the same way?
.strokeme
{
color: white;
text-shadow:
-1px -1px 0 #000,
1px -1px 0 #000,
-1px 1px 0 #000,
1px 1px 0 #000;
}
from: Outline effect to text
"What I have done instead is used the already supported text-shadow property (supported in Chrome, Firefox, Opera, and IE 9 I believe)."
As of May 24th, 2012, there is no cross-browser solution, as only webkit supports the experimental feature according to http://caniuse.com/#search=text-stroke. You can simulate this (to some degree) with 4 or 5 text-shadow's on an element.
Demo: Text Stroke, on CSS-Tricks.com
You could try strokeText.js, a vanilla javascript plugin.
Strokes do not overlap your text like they do with
-webkit-text-stroke
Supports all browsers except IE8 and below
Selectable text
Dependency-free
Full disclosure, I made the plugin.
This can't be done natively cross-browser, but it can be implemented with a fallback for unsupported browsers:
color: blue;
-webkit-text-stroke-color: blue;
-webkit-text-fill-color: white;
-webkit-text-stroke-width: 3px;
That way, webkit browsers will display white text with blue outline, but other browsers will still display the color of your choosing (this case blue).

Border example
border: 1px solid #d9d9d9;
Box-shadow example
box-shadow: inset 0 0 0 1px #d9d9d9;
If site is build for modern browser, is box-shadow a perfect alternative to border?
A border is part of the element and influences its size. A shadow does not.
Also, browser support for old browsers might be missing.
I am trying to create similar to this shadow effects, and inspected CSS in chrome, still i am not getting what i want, my current code is:
.imageShadow {
background: #fff;
-webkit-box-shadow: 0 0 5px 0 #bbb;
box-shadow: 0 0 5px 0 #bbb;
height: 293px;
}
Note: My image height is 293px
Is this will work in all browsers?
Anyone have an idea?
If you mean the nice, curvy dropshadow then CSS at the current state does not allow it. They haven't used CSS to do this, they used image sprites.
Here is a chart that shows compatibility for css box-shadow:
http://caniuse.com/css-boxshadow
IE 9+, Firefox 4+, Safari 5+, and Chrome all support the style.
I'm not associated in any form with the following page:
http://www.wpsyndicator.com/
However, as you can see on that page, they used images to show the white-outlined, shadowed, red text. Is there a way in CSS3 to implement this feature? I mean, I can handle the shadow and the red, but the white font outlining is not something I'm familiar with.
You are looking for text-stroke.
-webkit-text-stroke: 1px white;
It is only supported by the web-kit for now, you can see the compatibility list here http://caniuse.com/text-stroke

Here is an example from David: http://jsfiddle.net/davidThomas/h5J6K/2/
You can use the css3 text-shadow property to achieve this effect. Will not work in IE tho so will have to find some one to emulate the effect in that browser. The code looks like this...
#myDiv {
text-shadow: 1px 1px 1px #fff, 2px 2px 1px #fff, -1px -1px 1px #fff, -2px -2px 1px #fff;
}
The first argument is the horizontal distance from the text, the second, the vertical, the third is the blur. the lower this number the less blur. you do negatives to go up or to the left. This is cool and you can do some really neat effects with this. Hope that helps
I was long using this to add a glow to focused fields, I accessed my page from Firefox for the first time and realized it doesn't work on it, and most likely not on explorer either.
border: 1px solid #E68D29;
outline-color: -webkit-focus-ring-color;
outline-offset: -2px;
outline-style: auto;
outline-width: 5px;
I had copy pasted it from another page so I'm not quite sure how it works. What is the equivalent for Firefox or Explorer? I mean how do I make a similar glow in other browsers? Thanks
Webkit treats "outline-style: auto;" differently than other browsers. If you want to get behavior that's more similar across browsers I'd recommend you use box-shadow instead. It won't apply to older browsers (IE8 and earlier, or FF3.0 and earlier) but otherwise should be the same.
Using this code
input {
border: 1px solid #E68D29;
}
input.focus {
border-color: #439ADC;
box-shadow: 0 0 5px #439ADC; /* IE9, Chrome 10+, FF4.0+, Opera 10.9+ */
-webkit-box-shadow: 0 0 5px #439ADC; /* Saf3.0+, Chrome */
-moz-box-shadow: 0 0 5px #439ADC; /* FF3.5+ */
}
I was able to produce a result that shows cross-browser glow in IE9+, FF4+, Chrome 10+, and Safari 5+.
Option 2) You could experiment with using some combination of outline (which will show in Webkit) and box-shadow (for other browsers).
Option 3) Use a library like Formalize CSS to take care of the cross-platform input styling for you. The results are pretty impressive.
After my 1st question with relation to CSS3 gradients in which I was recreating an 'inner glow' I've now got to the point where I'm not so happy with the way in which webkit renders the effect.
Basically, if you give an element a background colour and apply a border radius to it, webkit lets the background colour "bleed" out to fill the surrounding box (making it look a bit awful)
To reproduce the undesirable effect, try something like the following
section#featured footer p a
{
color: rgb(255,255,255);
text-shadow: 1px 1px 1px rgba(0,0,0,0.6);
text-decoration: none;
padding: 5px 10px;
border-radius: 15px;
-moz-border-radius: 15px;
-webkit-border-radius: 15px;
background: rgb(98,99,100);
-moz-box-shadow: inset 0 0 8px rgba(0,0,0, 0.25);
-webkit-box-shadow: inset 0 0 8px rgba(0,0,0, 0.25);
}
Apparently this appears to be a Windows-only problem, so for those on a Mac, here's a screenshot: (Check the 'carry on reading' button)

You'll notice that in Safari/Chrome (the latest available public downloads as well as the latest nightlies as far as I can tell), you get a rather ugly background colour bleed. However, in Firefox, you should be able to see what I'm after. If you're in Internet Explorer, woe betide you.
Does anyone know of a technique which will allow me to produce the 'correct' effect? Is there a CSS Property which I've missed that tells webkit to only have the background within the border-radius'd part of the containing box.
I could potentially use an image, but I'm really trying to avoid it. Naturally, as we're dealing with CSS3 and the landscape is continually changing, I might just have to 'lump' it and revert to an image.
However, if anyone can suggest an alternative I would be very much appreciative!
Finally, after an awfully long time, someone much cleverer than I has a solution to this:
-moz-background-clip: padding; /* Firefox 3.6 */
-webkit-background-clip: padding; /* Safari 4? Chrome 6? */
background-clip: padding-box; /* Firefox 4, Safari 5, Opera 10, IE 9 */
is your friend :)

This is, unfortunately, a known bug. You can sorta work around it by giving your element a background-coloured border big enough to cover the leaking inset shadow, but it's far from an ideal solution.
