I don't think they are wrong. A solid kind of border is what you get with those filters. I don't know if MS has any filter that does blur effects – and it would probably be a performance nightmare. I've scrolling speed on pages that have (large) boxes with box-shadow slow down to a crawl on both Gecko and WebKit browsers. Those MS filters are known to be perf bottlenecks. And yes, you almost certainly need a hasLayout trigger; I'm partisan to use the zoom property for that. Note that you can give the box-shadow some kinda of transparency if you specified it in hex values #rrggbbaa (ex. #99999980 would give a medium grey with a 0.5 alpha). If I remember correctly, it looks between slightly crappy and completely crappy. (I've never used those MS things on a live site) Philippe --- Philippe Wittenbergh http://l-c-n.com/ ______________________________________________________________________ css-discuss [cs...@lists.css-discuss.org] http://www.css-discuss.org/mailman/listinfo/css-d List wiki/FAQ -- http://css-discuss.incutio.com/ List policies -- http://css-discuss.org/policies.html Supported by evolt.org -- http://www.evolt.org/help_support_evolt/
