All I want to do is make a simple box with a drop shadow. So I make a four corner image and try to make it stretch and it’s a complete pain and hardly ever works.
So I tried to make the drop shadows in CSS instead so that I don’t have to use images. That works great in FireFox but IE completely ignores it.
I don’t know how to make IE do the drop shadows, and I have no idea how to make the browser manufactures get their acts together so stuff works. Everything should just look the same no matter what browser I do it in. I shouldn’t have to deal with garbage.
If you want to use js for ie then do as stated above and use csspie. That is a perfectly good solution and I wouldnt consider being lazy as it only fails in ie8/7/6 with js off and its only a shadow. If you want a shadow to work everywhere regardless then you can use one of my links below.
If its rounded corners and/or a width less box then I would just use csspie prob. You can do it with css and images but it gets complicated. Paul has some links on those if need be.
Okay… I followed the example (http://www.w3.org/Style/Examples/007/roundshadow). So fart it’s working but how to I change the angle of the shadow, right now it looks really bad with the default, it’s way too much shadow.
