    Hihi, I’m feeling like a little child again: That was one of the first Java applets that I had seen years and years ago and now we can do it so easily in the browser.

    Thanks, Zach!

    When will he be able to use a css gradient instead of a png for the spotlight effect?

    Maybe we already are… I haven’t looked into this in a while:
    Apply a CSS filter that references a graident filled SVG element as image. Since feImage should behave like “use” it should be possible to apply it that way.

    thinsoldier, it would be awesome if we had -moz-mask and/or -moz-gradient CSS so that the spotlight could be pure CSS instead of a PNG.

    On a side note, if you are using Firefox 3.0.11 you are seeing the spotlight but missing the shadow. Try out Firefox 3.5!

    An idea for pure-CSS spotlight, sketched out with actual implementation left as an exercise for the reader: inset box-shadow and border-radius. I look forward to someone else doing the actual legwork. ;-)

    Nice demo.

    Christopher, you could change:

    document.getElementById(‘text-shadow-box’).onmousemove = onMouseMove;

    to

    window.addEventListener(“mousemove”, …);

    so the effect works when mouse is out of frame.

    The shade round the text beautifully looks, only here not in all browsers is displayed…
