This property specifies text shadows that appear with the text of an element.
The text-shadow
property can be applied to any element. It is
an inherited property (according to CSS 3). Its inital value is none
. Its syntax is
as follows:
text-shadow: color1 horizontal_offset1 vertical_offset1
blur_radius1, color2 horizontal_offset2 vertical_offset2
blur_radius
2,...
The color
value specifies the color of the shadow. The
horizontal offset
is a length value that specifies the distance to the
left or right of the text that the shadow has to be rendered. A positive value
renders the shadow text to the right, a negative value renders it to the left.
The vertical offset
is a length value that specifies the vertical distance from
the text that the shadow has to be rendered. The blur radius
, a
length value, controls
the blurriness of the shadow.
More than one shadow can be specified — each set of values are separated by a comma.
Note: text shadows have no effect on the size of the line box
Example: <p style="font-family:'Times New
Roman';font-size:35px;text-shadow: green 15px 15px
0, gray -15px -15px 0">the five boxing wizards</p>
In the above example, the text has two shadows — one below and the
other above. Firefox 3 and Internet Explorer 8 and below ignore the
text-shadow
property. Firefox 3.5, Safari 4, Chrome 3 and Opera 10
display the text shadows as shown in the picture.
Conclusion
Since the text-shadow
property is ignored by Firefox 3 and
Internet Explorer 8 and below, this property cannot be used.
