Hi Jim,
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
that rely on an offset div element and these initially worked fine but
they appear flaky in practice and the explanations given on websites
purporting to teach this stuff I find barely comprehensible
Filters are proprietary features from Internet Explorer (not part of any
standard), therefore you will only see the shadows in that browser… The
first question that I think you should ask yourself is: do I really want
to use this feature?
If the answer is no, I would suggest to use a common structure to all
your pages, with divs or tables (preferably divs, as you have already)
and a background image repeating itself vertically or horizontally as
needed.
