This is what I'm trying to do, simply..




<span class="style1">Text goes here looking good and
<a href="http://site.com" class="style2">this link</a> isn't too bad either</span>



I want to add a dropshadow to that text, nothing special just 1 pixel off to give it a propped up look. I need this to work in IE and Firefox. Any suggestions please?

You can't see the shadow in Firefox because filters are supported by Internet Explorer 5+ only.

Just check this article (http://phoenity.com/newtedge/drop_shadow/)

Is this not recommended then?

Don't want anything that won't work in all browsers.

Look in the CSS library here on DD. There's a simple drop-down shadow, and a gradient-esque shadow.

Is this the proper link? http://www.dynamicdrive.com/style/csslibrary/item/css-gradient-shadow/
I did a search and it seems thats the only dropshadow technique available from DD. Thank you for replying.
