After adding a shadow to a cell (which mistakenly applied the class to the <table> tag rather than the <td> tag I had highlighted), the bgcolor of that cell no longer appears. I've tried manually adding the line "background-color: #eaaf57;" to DMXzone_Smart_CSS_Shadows.css but that does nothing. Please check it out here(www.unitednetworksonline.com/Portals/wfmu/home/) and let me know something.

Hello.

Why are you using tables to create those blocks?

<pre id=code><font face=courier size=2 id=code>.myblock{
background: #D8F8D3;
display: block;
width: 2em; (or 225px if you must)
}</font id=code></pre id=code>

Then create something like:
<pre id=code><font face=courier size=2 id=code>&lt;div class="dropshadow-br"&gt;&lt;a href="#" title="my link description"
class="myblock"&gt;who we are&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</font id=code></pre id=code>

Or you could just style all links like that.

This is a good tutorial about creating CSS navigation menus.

All you would have to do is creat a div around those links to apply the drop shadow.

Hope this helped.

I will attempt to do this your way, but as can be seen here: www.unitednetworksonline.com/Portals/wfmu/home/index_css.html it does not work either. I need to have a 225px (or equivalent) square that is filled in with that color (#D8F8D3). This is not how it appears. Any ideas?

Well SC, I have to agree with you.

I am not too clever when it comes to coding - rather a point and click character - and I was sold, on the DMX site, with the 'cool css shadows' and 'cross browser compatability'.

I know I will now be inundated with admins trying to get me to send code and adjust this and tweak that, but I just want to point and click. I applied the shadow to a table in DW8.0.2 and the shadow was nowhere to be seen in IE and in Firefox the shadow was INSIDE my table border!!

Can I get refunds on this product as I am very upset with this extension.....

I agree, as when I have tried using this extention on tables and images the result is that they are placed to the left of the screen when viewed in IE and I have also lost the bacground colour on a td cell. So I feel the extension is just not worth the money if you then have to go in a play around with code.

I too will be asking for a refund inless these questions are addressed.

Can anyone help..??
