Drop Shadow

Post by enrico1982 »

Hi all,

trying to create a nice drop shadow for my site, current attempt is here http://www.gems.co.uk. Bit nasty :oops: !

Main problem is trying to get the shadow to be transparent over the background, how is this done?

Thanks

Rico

edit - ps: using GIMP

Save the image as a PNG file with an alpha transparency map, then use the HTC behaviour hack to make it work on IE6.
