Title : Text shadow

BB Code Tag Name : shadow

Vijayninel, many thanks for making this. I have installed it according to your instructions but is not working on my website. I'm running VB 4.0.5

I have checked in Mozilla Firefox, Safari and IE. Any suggestions ?

Hi! Just to clarify, are you specifying the shadow amount when using the code ? like are you giving [shadow=4] or any number ? just putting [shadow] wont work.

Also if your background is of a darker colour then you may have to change the colour of the shadow from #a4a1a1 to something that is more suitable and contrasting for your background.

I got it! It does work great. I got everything right except when the option box was coming up I was putting [shadow=4] instead of just 4.

Now, I have a question. If I don't want to use the "option" where in the coding would I put the shadow number?

Thanks,

Margaret

If you dont want to use option, then just replace the {option} in the replacement with the size number of the shadow you want in pixels.

For example this code :


Block Disabled:      (Update License Status)   
Suspended or Unlicensed Members Cannot View Code.

used along with this BB code [shadow]text[/shadow] will give you a fixed shadow of 4 pixels. You wont be able to change the shadow size according to the size of the text.

What can we do if Microsoft cannot make a browser which supports CSS ? Anyway not all sites have users which primarily use IE. On my site 70% of the users use Firefox for instance.

Besides it wouldn't hurt to use this affect. At least the users of other CSS compliant browsers will have a better visual experience on your site.
