I have found a couple, but they are all separate files, so pm me if you want some. There is a bouncing text link, the requisite fade text link, and a few others

Thanks for your input guys, but I don't necessarly want to, or CAN for that matter, create flash myself..

I wanted to know if anyone have any cool CSS or DHTML effects they were using with their links..

This one someone else gave me at another place and is a perfect example of a 'wicked link effect'

<style type="text/css">
<!--

A:active {COLOR: #ccc; border-bottom : 1px solid #f60; TEXT-DECORATION: none}
A:visited {COLOR: #ccc; border-bottom : 1px solid #f60; TEXT-DECORATION: none}
A:hover {COLOR: #ccc; border-bottom : 1px solid #f60; TEXT-DECORATION: underline}
A:link {COLOR: #ccc; border-bottom : 1px solid #f60; TEXT-DECORATION: none}

-->
</style>

So, anything like this would be cool..
Except I'm not into underlines all that much, so I was kinda hoping for a different kind.

And I've been to the Dynamicdrive site, has lot's of cool things.
Thanks!

A heck of a lot can be done with dhtml/css, using filters etc. The fade text is the easiest one to do. Problem is it is mainly for IE, and doesnt go too well on Netscape (I dont know about NN6, I think it has more support now). There are other ways of doing it though, I have seen applets that do the job, but what is the point in that?

If there is one thing I absolutely hate it is the pointless overuse of flash on the net. Yes you can do it in flash, but is what you have that special that you want them to wait for a hell of a long time over a bad connection......

Im sorry, I have just started to rant a bit. If I had a better connection I would probably have a better p.o.v on flash.

http://www.dynamicdrive.com has many (dHTML scripts).

dHTML does have limitations and problems with browser compatibilty. Where dHTML ends, Flash begins . You can create all sorts of effects from fades to glows to moving objects... etc. Almost limitless.

You can find good flash tutorials at http://www.designsbymark.com.
