Text progressive light glow effect

I开发者_StackOverflow社区s there any jQuery plugin for progressive light glow effect like this?

I saw your post last night and it sounds like a good idea for a plugin to do. so I did it for you.

I have uploaded it here

Please note it needs the color animation plugin by John Resig which you can download here

With canvas, and a very good computer, you would write something like, but not exactly what you linked. To answer the question: no, I've never seen anything remotely like that, and have seem a very wide variety of plugins.

The best you could hope for would be a linear fade or an image behind a text path that slides across. I've never seen anything like this in javascript, because it's so specialized, it'd be better to make an animated image (honestly, for a color pallete that small a dithered .gif may look pretty good).

Either use flash if you want the effect to be that fancy (no alternative is going to do it that well, you can only hope to get something satisfactory, but not that level of color accuracy and smoothness at once)...or make an animated image. In short, a browser's rendering engine isn't optimized for that kind of animation or image swapping, if a .gif is enough because you have 1 image to do this with, that's your best bet, otherwise: flash.
