CSS/Javascript/HTML Text Effects Primer Tutorial
We last specifically talked about HTML and CSS and text elements when we had the CSS Embossed Text Primer Tutorial as shown below.
Today we talk about some other ideas regarding text, inspired by reading (in particular, point 9 of) 20 Useful CSS Tips For Beginners (thanks) and think a bit about the more “showy” ways of presenting HTML text data, regarding …
- toggling between an <h1> HTML element as a piece of text and then an image via a vastly negative HTML text-indent property
- make the text move from left to right (like a <marquee> HTML element) via the HTML text-indent property
- make the text move from right to left via the HTML text-indent property with negative values
- rotating text (helped heaps by this useful link … thanks)
- snaking text via the use of <textarea> HTML element’s Javascript DOM innerHTML and using a WYSIWYG Courier New font
… making use of CSS principles and Javascript DOM manipulations.
It can be good to apply some effects to text on occasions when it is to attract attention in the first place, but when you are deep into the explanation of something, “text distractions” may not be a good look.

Sometimes it is good to give a 3D embossed effect (with text shadowing) to some text HTML elements for the purpose of attracting the user’s attention and giving that 3D effect for vibrancy.
