Drop Shadow

D

Doc English

I am using an image as a background that has light and dark areas. When you
highlight the type over it there is a perfect solution given only while you
are editing where there is a translucent darker background. Can you do that
HTML or whatever for all the text?

If that is too hard WHY can I not find a simple drop shadow for text? It
gives you strike through etc... but no drop shadow to pull text out from the
background.

Any suggestions would be fantastic.

You will need to start using CSS. For your simple case copy this in
your Notepad and save as "shadows.html" including quotation marks and
then open the file in IE6 or 7: when prompted, select allow blocked
content as this is not any script to worry about.
<html>
<head>
<title> Drop shadows </title>
</head>
<body>
<div
style="margin:0px
auto;width:450px;filter:shadow;color:eek:range;font-size:24pt;line-height:200%;">CSS

Drop Shadow</div>

<!-- p.hypergurl {margin:0px
auto;width:450px;filter:shadow;color:eek:range;font-size:24pt;line-height:200%:}

--> </style>


<div
width="100"

style="filter:shadow(color:black);float:left;font-weight:bold;font-size:18pt;font-family:georgia;color:eek:range;paddin

g:15px;">CSS
Drop Shadow</div>


</body>
</html>

You can put CSS code in a separate file to make your html neat and tidy
but I have just dome this quickly to show you what can be done with CSS
and HTML.
