A little invention of mine

This is something that I cooked up with HTML and Javascript: a script that lets you use vibrating or wavy text on a page. To see what it looks like, just download and unzip the attached "actiontext.zip" file and double-click the actiontext.htm file to open it in your browser. I've tested it in IE6 and Firefox/Seamonkey, but I don't know about other browsers, so bug reports would be nice. Perhaps we could use this on GCL?

For developers who want to use this on their sites:
I'm distributing this as open-source, so you can use this for whatever and even modify it so long as you don't claim ownership. To use it in a web page, just add a [tt]<script src="actiontext.js" type="text/javascript"></script>[/tt] tag to the head of your page, and add the attribute [tt]onload="parseActionText();"[/tt] to the [tt]<body>[/tt] tag of your page. Then, all text within a [tt]<span class="vib">[/tt] tag will vibrate, and all text within a [tt]<span class="wave">[/tt] tag will have a wavy animation.

Cool, it would work well in Glitch City Laboratories signatures.

Now… I got to find out why glow and shadow don't show up in Firefox!

Oh… Firefox doesn't support CSS filter…

What we need is more annoying animation effects.

Looks like it would get out of control?
