You can, in the CSS, fake it by using borders:

border-top: 1px solid #hexhex;
border-left: 1px solid #hexhex;
border-right: 3px solid #hexhex;
border-bottom: 3px solid #hexhex;

It will appear to have a drop shadow, depending on the colours you use (represented by #hexhex).

You can use that on DIV, or any block level element.

Well, you could fake it. You'd just have to make graphics for the corners and two sides of the table, then put them into their own cells (the long parts for the side and bottom could be done as table cell backgrounds so they'd tile and stretch to the height and width of your own table).

There is a CSS attribute for drop shadowing (filter:dropshadow...) but no. 1 it looks ugly and 2. it doesn't seem to want to work on block elements, just on text and things like that. Oh, and they only work in IE 5.0+ AFAIK. Here's a list of filtering properties if anyone's interested:

Actually, wait, try this:

filter: progid: DXImageTransform.Microsoft.dropshadow(OffX=5, OffY=5, Color='gray', Positive='true')

- it seems to only work if a background color is defined, and only in IE probably. Check this page for more details

I don't think you can do a drop shadow for a table though??

Just set the attributes for the table within the Tag. This page breaks down the attributes you can use.

It would be a better idea to use CSS but I'm not sure how you would do it...

Welcome to TWF Oracle,

Do you have an online example of exactly what you are trying to achieve?
