OK, Got it.
I've not seen it done anywhere and this is a bit of a rough
implementation:-
You need to get your server side script to generate code that looks
like the following:-
<div
style='font-size:20px;overflow:hidden;height:1px;width:100px;border:solid
0px;background-color: #00ffff'>text</div>
<div
style='font-size:20px;overflow:hidden;height:2px;width:105px;border:solid
0px;background-color: #00ffff'>text</div>
<div
style='font-size:20px;overflow:hidden;height:2px;width:109px;border:solid
0px;background-color: #00ffff'>text</div>
<div
style='font-size:20px;overflow:hidden;height:2px;width:112px;border:solid
0px;background-color: #00ffff'>text</div>
<div
style='font-size:20px;overflow:hidden;height:3px;width:114px;border:solid
0px;background-color: #00ffff'>text</div>
<div
style='font-size:20px;overflow:hidden;height:4px;width:115px;border:solid
0px;background-color: #00ffff'>text</div>
<div
style='font-size:20px;overflow:hidden;height:3px;width:115px;border:solid
0px;background-color: #00ffff'>text</div>
<div
style='font-size:20px;overflow:hidden;height:2px;width:114px;border:solid
0px;background-color: #00ffff'>text</div>
<div
style='font-size:20px;overflow:hidden;height:2px;width:112px;border:solid
0px;background-color: #00ffff'>text</div>
<div
style='font-size:20px;overflow:hidden;height:2px;width:109px;border:solid
0px;background-color: #00ffff'>text</div>
<div
style='font-size:20px;overflow:hidden;height:2px;width:105px;border:solid
0px;background-color: #00ffff'>text</div>
<div
style='font-size:20px;overflow:hidden;height:1px;width:100px;border:solid
0px;background-color: #00ffff'>text</div>
Note that on the height and length change on some of the divs. This
example gives a rounded end to the colour block (a bit blocky but that
should be possible to fix with some neat anti-alais code to fade the
foreground to the background)
The size and position would need to be generated from some calcuations.
I've not seen this solution mentioned anywhere else. What is the
problem with it in other browsers? (i use a Slimbrowser, built on IE so
have not tried it in Mox, Fox, Opera etc.)
