Subject: drop shadows
Hi all,
I have a site www.flashforprogrammers.com, each page ‘floats’ on a background
with a dropshadow. I’m no HTML fiend, a friend told me how to add the drop
shadow. It’s done thus:
<div
style="width:700px;height:1250px;filter:shadow(color:black,direction:135);">
<div style="width:682px;background:white;border:1px solid black;padding:20px;">
…content
</div>
</div>

My notes on that would be:
1) As mentioned already, this will work *only* in IE browsers.
2) ...So I would suggest a very popular technique, widely used, using a small
GIF image and a bit of CSS. It works in nearly every browser nowadays, and is
easy to implement. Details you may find here:
