CSS - Help Styling Drop Shadow...
Just one of those educational "How Do They Do that?" Questions...
Here is my site...(NOT a real business...just a project) My Projekt I was wondering how those drop shadows around the body "frame" are created like the following site: This Site I've looked under different threads, viewed hundreds of lines of page source code and search engine results to no avail. I did find ONE article stating there is a conflict in FF/Netscape using CSS to render these drop shadows correctly. Is there a cross-platform (browser) friendly way to create these drop shadows utilizing my friend, CSS; without having to use 200 1 x 1 px images? Thanks for helping me learn (in advance)...(bows gracefully) PWD Similar TutorialsHello am trying to add a black drop shadow to a text whose color is red, how can i proceed with this in css? The text in question is in fact between <h1> tags where the color has been modified to red, but now i want to add a drop shadow in that text using css Hi there I am busy making a drop shadow for a div on my site. Works great in everything except IE (well there's a surprise). What I would like to have is a shadow that emanates from a light source directly above the element (figuratively speaking). The shadow will in other words extend in all directions (or ideally to the left, right and bottom, but not the top) from underneath the div. I can't seem to get the spread right in IE. It seems that in IE I can only have the shadow extend in one direction. Here is what it looks like in Chrome, Firefox and Safari (what I want it to loo like) And this is what I have managed to do for IE 7 & 8 And here is the code: Code: #myDiv{-moz-box-shadow: 0px 10px 33px #000; -webkit-box-shadow: 0px 10px 33px #000; box-shadow: 0px 10px 33px #000; /* For IE 8 */-ms-filter: "progid:DXImageTransform.Microsoft.Shadow(Strength=15, Direction=180, Color='#000000')"; /* For IE 5.5 - 7 */ filter: progid:DXImageTransform.Microsoft.Shadow(Strength=15, Direction=180, Color='#000000');}
I have been considering using three different elements each with it's own shadow going in different directions. This means a lot of tweaking to only display these elements in IE, and just seems messy in general. Does anyone have any ideas on how I can solve this in a simpler way? Any advice would be much appreciated The original post was asking about how to finish a CSS drop shadow for a box. However, I quickly discovered a solution after posting this comment. The reply below is useful for creating a drop shadow for a box or image of a known height and width. I created a drop shadow CSS code for a box of known width (though with a bit of number crunching in the CSS you can alter it to any) but of variable height. If you want to view the code, go to http://www.wattersisere.co.uk/dev-shed/ I'm learning CSS and creating a blog at annieagarwal.com/blog (again, work in progress!) I want to recreate the shadow on the sides of the main container of this blog the url is blocked just google robin cornett and then find the style sheets How do I do that? The blog has two style sheets My style sheet is at annieagarwal.com/blog/wp-content/themes/tofurious/style.css I created a png of the shadow that is 1000px wide at annieagarwal.com/blog/wp-content/themes/tofurious/images/shadow.png But I can't seem to get the code right. I want to use a background image/color along with the container having a drop shadow. Hello, Quick Q: How would I go about getting this effect (drop-shadow/rounded corners around the main container div - here are a couple examples): http://urlgreyhot.com/personal/ http://www.fiftyfoureleven.com/sandbox/weblog/ I am aware of the tutorials found on ALA site... but those tuts do not use .png's to achieve the drop-shadow/rounded-corner effect. Can someone point me to a nice tutorial? I have tried viewing the CSS of above sites, but I have found it a bit confusing, and I would prefer a simplified version of the code. Anyone feel like sharing techniques? Thanks in advance!

I really strive to stay as close to design when I get a psd from a graphic designer. Sometimes that can be a challenge such as the situation I am having now. If you look at this page Osake Restaurant you will see a header on the page that reads Restaurant Menu. This header is using a custom font called Lato. I have uploaded a screenshot of the layer styles for drop shadow and gradient. Screen Shot Below is some code I found from a tutorial for css drop-shadow - Code:
/* default setup that everything sees */
.shadow {
/* needed for Internet explorer */
height: 1em;
filter: Shadow(Color=#666666,
Direction=135,
Strength=5);
/* Needed for Gecko */
line-height: 2em;
white-space: nowrap;
}
/*
* used by browsers which know about
* :before to create the shadow
*/
.shadow:before {
display: block;
margin: 0 0 -2.12em 0.15em;
padding: 0;
color: #666666;
}
#shadow_1:before {
content: 'In shadow';
}
#second_2:before {
content: 'Happy Shadowing!';
}
/*\*/

/*

* from Gecko
*/
text-shadow: #666666 5px 5px 5px;
]color:auto; /* resets color for IE6 */
}/**/
/*
* end hack using dummy attribute selector
* for IE5 mac
*/
.dummyend[id]{clear: both;}

My question is how do I go from those settings in PSD to a equivalent look in HTML w/ CSS. Do I just play around with it or is there a more precise way. Also what about for gradient. Hopefully others can learn from this thread as well. Thanks! Tom I am using this: http://alistapart.com/articles/cssdropshadows/ for use on a gallery. Each image it is applied to is in a table cell. However, because its floated left, it floats to the left of the table cell even though I have cent the text-align to center I don't have any styles applied to these drop downs. I don't really know how to do what I need to do. I want to make this drop down: graiai [dot] com /screenshots/makethis.gif Look like this drop down: graiai [dot] com /screenshots/looklikethis.gif Help! Thanks for taking the time to read my question. I have a box in which I have text. I would like to make that box look like it has a shadow to the bottom right. I can't seem to figure out how to do that with my CSS. here is the <div> and my CSS Code: <body> <div id="MainContainer"> <div id="Title">Landmark Feeds - Links to Standard Operating Procedures</div> <hr /> <div class="dtree"> <p id="TreeLinks"><span><a class="QuickLink" href="javascript:%20d.openAll();">Open All Folders</a> <a class="QuickLink" href="javascript:%20d.closeAll();">Close All Folders</a></span></p> <p id="TreeLinks"><span><a class="QuickLink" href="javascript: d.openTo(1, true);">Open Terms</a> <a class="QuickLink" href="javascript: d.openTo(2, true);">Open Payment Schedules</a> <a class="QuickLink" href="javascript: d.openTo(3, true);">Open SOP's</a></span></p> <p><script type="text/javascript" src="JavaScript/dtreeDocWrite.js"></script></p> </div> <hr /> </div> <div id="CR">Last Updated: February 28, 2006</div> </body> Code: #Title {

Thanks, Brad I've got a div tag that I show and hide on an accessKey press. It is used for special navagation in the site. The div tag has a background color defined in the CSS. The background color only shows up in FF. I know I'm using tables when I don't need to, and this is pretty sloppy right now.. but I'm going to clean it up a bit... I just finished writing a function to keep the div tags above select elements in IE and haven't had a chance to do the cleaning up yet. But I think my problem is probably very simple and is something stupid in my style sheet or some behavior of IE I don't know about or have forgotten about. Code:
<div id="gotoSmall"><input type="image" id="hiddenGoTo" src="<c:out value='${pageContext.request.contextPath}'/>/images/XXXXyyyy/empty.gif" name="hiddenGoTo" accessKey="g" onfocus="showHideGoto('show');"/></div>
<div id="gotoDiv">
<form name="GoToScreen" class="form" onsubmit="javascript:return goToNextScreen(this,'<c:out value='${pageContext.request.contextPath}'/>')" method="post">
<table class="goToTable" id="gotoTable">
<tr>
<td align="right" nowrap="nowrap">
<label class="XXXXGoToLabel" id="goTo">go to</Label>
</td><td>
<input name="screenName" autocomplete="off" class="XXXXGoToInput" id="XXXXGoToInput" type="text" onblur="return toUpper(this);" size="12" height="20px" value="" maxlength="12" tabindex="-1"/>
</td>
<td>
<input type="hidden" name="XXXXActionOrTab" value="Refresh"/>
<input type="hidden" name="useSessionKeys" value="true"/>
<input type="hidden" name="backButtonCheck" value="pageLoad"/>
</td>
</tr><tr>
<td align="center" colspan="3">
<table>
<tr>
<td align="right">
<input type="submit" name="GoTo" value="Goto" onclick="buttonClick(this);"/>
</td><td align="left">
<input type="button" name="cancel" value="Cancel" onclick="showHideGoto('hide')"/>
</td>
</tr>
</table>
</td>
</tr>
</table>
</form>
</div>
Code:
#gotoDiv{
display: block;
left:450;
top:200;
z-index:10000;
width:204px;
height:54px;
visibility:hidden;

Hey everyone. First of all, I apologise for imposing on you another question about drop shadows in CSS. I have tried my hardest with what I've been trying to achieve here (including using the resources that gave me the info to use this technique in the first place) but I've hit a brick wall. Allow me to demonstrate: http://www.hrfc.org.uk/test2/index.htm At the top right of the content, there is a box I've created, within which the ultimate user of this site will be able to put screen shots, and then type their captions below. Ideally, I want to be able to have this box (.grabcontainer in the CSS) have a drop shadow. I was able to achieve a drop shadow for the <img> on its own (as can be seen by scrolling further down the page to the image at the bottom)... but I can't think of a way of extending this technique so that it works for my .grabcontainer class. If anyone has any suggestions I'd really appreciate it. I've played with this all day but every attempt normally ruins the careful arrangement of the divs. Thanks for reading Eldoc Hey guys I'm new here, so I apologise if I do something wrong or write something! Anyway, I have a small query regarding CSS on my website. It is valid CSS before you ask and th eproblem is - I have a shadow which is meant to appear on my website and in IE6 it does not. It is an image that is a height of 2 and then i want it to be height 100% so it fill sup the container it is in. So, border-left and border-right are in the container 'page' and do not show up (but they do in opera, firefox, safari, ie7 and netscape) Another problem in IE6, is the 100% width issue, anyone know how to fix this too? (all the widths that are 100% on the page, i tried to fix it in the IE6 fixes but it didnt work) Any ideas? The code is below Code: #header {
position: absolute;

Hello, I am wanting to add a shadow to both sides of the container box i have for my css site layout. Is this possible. I was using border-left and border right applying the border settings but i would like to have a more of a shadow result. Can anyone help me with this please? Many thanks in advance. Not working in mozilla This does not render well in Mozilla Firefox, but is okay in IE. Please Help Us........ Im creating a training log for use by myself and to teach me ruby on rails but Im running into trouble coding the css for the interface. My content box has a significant shadow with rounded corners and Im not sure what the best practice would be to code this. Im running into trouble because when I put the top background piece in it pushes the content down to far while making the transition of the drop shadow from the rounded corner to the edge. I want the content to be 10 px from the edge of the rounded box but in order to get the shading and corners right I need to have a large slice of the top and bottom of the background pushing the content more than 10 px down. Ive tried negative margins but that just brings my repeater background higher up covering the corners. Please let me know if there is a better way in which I can have my content in the right place. thanks in advance! G I guess I cant post a link to a screenshot so I hope I described it well enough... Hi: I'm trying to create text with a drop-shadow without having to resort to an image. I have found the "shadow" command for CSS and have used it as such: Code: p.title_drop_shadow_yellow {
margin:0px auto;
font-family: Biondi, Serif;
text-transform: capitalize;
font-variant: small-caps;
width:650px;
filter:shadow;
color:#FBDE80;
font-size:250%;
}
This gives the desired effect in MS Internet Explorer (granted the color choice needs some work) but it gives no effect at all in firefox. Does anyone know how to make this work on other browsers? Is there another way to get a drop-shadow? Thanks. |
