shadow around sub-menus

[ali]

I am having difficulty getting a shadow to appear around the sub-menus. (as was done at http://wwwnew.flobee.net/frame.html)

I'm sure this is something real simple -- it's escaping me, however.

any ideas, please?

Thanks,

ali.

Hi Ali,

You already have that shadow effect in your sample page. But if you want u can make it stronger by changing the "strenght" property in the below line. Find the below code snippet in your script and play with it until you get whatever you like.

Hakan

effect = "fade(duration=0.3);Shadow(color='#777777', Direction=135, Strength=5)"

Thanx. I thought was it, and I thought I was going nuts that it wasn't working.... but I found the problem (methinks):

The shadow shows up in IE6, but does not appear when using IE5.5, SP2.

Any thoughts, Andy?

BTW, I'm using v3.4 of the menu.

ali,
When you do get the shadow to work you might want to stay away from strength values greater than about 8. The shadow actually introduces error into the menu navigation where the pointer no longer stays aligned with the item highlighting. It's easier to see than to explain. Just set your strenght to 30 and test the menu. Be ready for a surprise!

Cheers,
Gary
