I am not sure how many of you will appreciate this little tutorial, but since i have used it a couple of times in my projects, i thought to share it with the rest of the community here.
PHP Code:
<DIV STYLE="width:550; height:50; font-size: 30pt; filter:DropShadow (Color=#cccccc, OffX=5, OffY=5, Positive=true)">
<center><font color="#CC0000"><b> THIS IS ALSO PLAIN TEXT </b></font></center>
</DIV>
Explanation for completely newbies:
<DIV> </DIV> encloses our style sheet routine.
STYLE= Tells the browser to expect some CSS code.
Width & Height sets up the area your text will sit in.
Font-size:30pt; sets the font size to 30 points.
Filter:DropShadow Tells Internet Explorer that we want to use a drop shadow effect.
Color can be anything you want. We have used a light gray.
OffX=5 is offset x axis and controls the horizontal offset of the drop shadow.
OffY=5 is offset y axis and controls the vertical offset of the drop shadow.
Positive=true can be set to true or false. Play around with the settings to see the difference
