RE: [WSG] Shadow validation
Not sure about the 1.X series, but text shadow is supported in Safari 2.X - I have been using it for quite a while, and love it.

Re: [WSG] Shadow validation
Hey dean,
I am probaly wrong, but i think text-shadow is a CSS3 spec which might not
be picked up by the validation

Re: [WSG] Shadow validation
Text-shadow's part of the CSS3 spec and not CSS 2.1 isn't it? So if you're
validating against CSS 2.1, you'll get an error.

Re: [WSG] Shadow validation
Regardless of whether it's valid or not, hardly any mainstream browsers currently support text shadows. (Does Firefox? I can only think of Safari 3, only available as the WebKit until Leopard gets released). So even once you have it validating, practically nobody will be able to appreciated your fine work :( Lucien. -- Lucien Stals Multimedia/Web Developer Academic Development and Support Swinburne University of Technology PO Box 218 Hawthorn, 3122, Australia email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] telephone: +61 3 9214 4474 office: AD223 On 10/07/2007 at 1:20 pm, Dean Matthews [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: On Jul 9, 2007, at 10:23 PM, Philippe Wittenbergh wrote: Not really, just chose the appropriate options (advanced...) when you try to validate a file.

I don't think Firefox does. And if I recall correctly (call me on it if I am wrong) text-shadow was included in the CSS 2 specs, but it was dropped due to lack of support. Also, Dean, it is possible to link to a CSS validation with advanced options. Just copy and paste the entire URL out of the address bar when you validate it. For example: http://jigsaw.w3.org/css-validator/validator?uri=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.ohlman.com%2Fstyle.csswarning=1profile=css3usermedium=all You can see that the profile option is equal to css3 in the above URL.

Yes, well it really is a let down viewing a site in Safari or OmniWeb and then viewing it in IE or FF. I am finding quite a few clients impressed with the difference in the new Windows Safari and making the switch. Maybe Safari will become mainstream (especially with the success of iPhone ;) The more design can be put in the browser and removed from image files the better.
