I just "discovered" text-shadow as a CSS property (thanks to
BareBones, in a roundabout way: checking the source code from the
BB website).
The thing is: it does not appear in any of the CSS property windows
or the Tag Maker's list.
Two questions arise: (1) Why?,
Hi Riccardo
Text shadow was part of the CSS2.0 spec, but was dropped from 2.1.
It will appear again in CSS3.0.
It's a cool little property, and I have used it before:
eg. http://raycity.com/edit/index.html
BUT it is not widely supported in all browsers:
Windows:
IE5.5 - No
IE6.0 - No
Firefox - No
Mac:
Safari - Yes
Camino - No
Firefox - No
Shiira - Yes
OmniWeb - Yes
In other words, only WebKit based browsers seem to support it. Which
means it has to be used with care: ie. don’t make it such that your
text is illegible without the shadow ...
and (2) how many other properties do not show up there?
I know it is me who should know my CSS stuff, but being BBEdit so
helpful about about this, I'm wondering why not do it all the
way... :-)
I guess they don’t want us to use the properties that they know will
get us into trouble! The wonderful folks they are ...
I find this a useful resource on CSS properties:

Hope this helps.

Peter
