I have been trying to make a header using the wrapper.header file. All the html and css works except for the text filters I am trying to use on my title. It won't display the filter effects at all. Something like this is what I am trying for: <div style="filter:dropshadow(color=red,direction=135);">Example</div>

Anyone have an idea?

Heh, I wondering if html was allowed.... Guess not.

Hi there

I don't know how case sensitive ie filters are, but I think it's supposed to be dropShadow. Also - the drop shadow filter needs offset values set (x and y values). I think you've combined the shadow filter with the dropShadow filter.

Take a look here: <!-- BBCode Start --><A HREF="http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/workshop/author/filter/reference/reference.asp" TARGET="_blank">Visual Filters and Transitions Reference</A><!-- BBCode End --> -- check the properties for dropShadow and for Shadow and you'll see what I mean.

Lastly, here's a site (kind of gaudy, but what the heck) that has visuals of the filter effects: <!-- BBCode Start --><A HREF="http://www.draac.com/wildiefilters.html" TARGET="_blank">Draac.Com's Wild Visual IE Filters</A><!-- BBCode End -->

Good luck!

Thanks, you were right, I was putting shadow properties for dropshadow properties. Oops...

It is now working fine!
