makeShadow Attribute | MakeShadow Property

This topic documents a feature of Visual Filters and Transitions, which is deprecated as of Windows Internet Explorer 9.

Sets or retrieves the value that indicates whether content is displayed as a shadow.

Syntax

HTML	{ filter:progid:DXImageTransform.Microsoft.Blur(     makeShadow = bShadow ... ) ... }
Scripting	object.filters.item(     "DXImageTransform.Microsoft.Blur").MakeShadow [ = bShadow ]

Possible Values

bShadow

Boolean that specifies or receives Boolean. Returns one of the following values. true Display content as a shadow. false Default. Display content with normal RGB values.

The property is read/write. The property has a default value of false.

Remarks

When the content is displayed as a shadow, its features are set to black, and then the blur filter is applied. Adjust the ShadowOpacity property to control the darkness of the shadow.

Example

This example places a shadow under the content of a DIV object. The DIV object is duplicated. The first DIV object displays the shadow, and the second DIV object is unfiltered.

    <DIV ID="oDiv" STYLE="position:absolute; left:70px; filter: 
            progid:DXImageTransform.Microsoft.blur(pixelradius=3.0, makeshadow='true', ShadowOpacity=1.0)" >
        An image - >    
        <IMG SRC='/workshop/graphics/earglobe.gif' />
    </DIV>
    <DIV ID="oDiv" STYLE="position:absolute; left:70px; " >
        An image - >
