(Saturday 28th February 2004)

They're the corkscrew in every graphic designer's Swiss Army knife. Much used, oft maligned but always popular, drop shadows are a staple of graphic design. Although easy to accomplish with image-editing software, they're not of much use in the fast-changing world of web design. On the web, adaptability and ease of use dictate trends - and static images with a fixed background effect are not very adaptable.

But what if we had a technique to build flexible CSS drop shadows that can be applied to arbitrary block elements? That can expand as the content of the block changes shape? Compatible with most modern browsers? With better results for standards-compliant browsers? If you're not sold yet, we can also tell you that it requires minimal markup.
