Issue with IE8 glow effect - very strange!

It just won't work through the -ms-filter value!

Hi there.

My website is located here: [flamefusion.net....]

If you go to it in Internet Explorer 8 (or at least if I do), you will notice that the glow effect on the title that says "Welcome" doesn't work.

Is that because I am using a @font-face thing to change the font? The glow should be orange as far as I am concerned.

The CSS file rendering that specific item is located here: [static.flamefusion.net...]

The item has the class "mainHeader", and here is the relevant CSS section of it:

.mainHeader
{
zoom:1;
font-family:fRaleway,verdana;
font-size:50px;
color:#FFA900;
-ms-filter:"progid:DXImageTransform.Microsoft.Glow(color=orange,strength=3)";
text-shadow:0px 0px 3px #FFCB00;
}

Hi there Mathiaslylo,

all you need for IE is...

filter:glow(color=orange,strength=3);

Birdbrain, that didn't work. It's added now, still no result.

Also, I believe you are wrong. For IE8 in standards mode according to this post, the -ms- prefix is required:

Hi there Mathiaslylo,

Sorry about that, I did not read your post correctly and only tested the glow filter in IE6.

As for the problem in IE8 it is caused by the highlighted attribute here...

<h1 class="mainHeader" style="display:inline;">Welcome</h1>

Remove that and the filter should work OK. ;)

Hi - well, the link to 'flamefusion.net' in the OP is already broken (error 400 invalid hostname}
I wanted to see this "glow effect" because I've never heard of it.
I hope all the new links around here don't wind up useless :)

The css is in the post though and that's good
