Drop shadows. Love ‘em or hate ‘em, we can’t get away from them. Used correctly, they can really jazz up the appearance of flat, dull-looking pages. The trouble is, there are no elements, no attributes, and no currently supported CSS properties that you may use to easily call for a drop shadow. So as web designers, we are required to actually design for drop shadows when they are needed.
This simple drop shadow method is easy and fairly safe, but has limits. In the next segment of the series we will describe better-looking but more complex methods, and we’ll also discuss some of the side issues you will need to deal with when applying such methods. Stay tuned!

The ultimate goal is to create a CSS layout that exactly resembles the WebReference.com layout made with tables and also behaves well with small window sizes and large fonts.
The target browsers are all the generation five and greater browsers, for both Windows and Macintosh platforms. We are also looking to use the same style rules for all of these browsers. This constraint makes the task more difficult and the final code larger and more complex than it would be for a browser with good compliance to CSS level 2, like Netscape 6. Thus, we cannot use those features that aren’t supported for all browsers and sometimes the necessary workarounds to solve bugs or other problems yield a not so straightforward use of CSS.
