useragents . I also think that with screenreaders, lots

So, my question is: is there a way for me to use this filter drop
shadow without the requirement to statically add the height to each
page? Would a bit of JavaScript do the trick? Although I’d rather not
resort to that. Also, I’ve seen other implementations of drop shadows

advanced style sheets to avoid confusing early browsers, perhaps we can set
an option to turn off advanced scripting.
I could see the option acting much like

Hi all,
So far I¹ve been able to avoid using Flash but a site I¹m working on uses a
few flash elements (like a slideshow).
I¹ve been googling around but besides the alistapart article on Flash-Satay
I¹ve not been able to find another method of embedding flash in a page so
that it still validates.
Erwin,

Thanks,

I always use a method suggested to me by Bert Doorn which so far has

It validates as xhtml 1.0 Transitional.
