    Thanks for the comments.

    With regard to IE6 the transparency can be dealt with but then the shadow image returns to its original width rather than the width of the parent div. In the end the most reliable option was to not display it though I guess I could make it an option in the settings.

    Really nice plugin ... but ... would be nice to have the option to have the effect default to on. Maybe a check box for each allowed media or CSS type.

    Thanks gerenm.

    I could probably look at adding an option to add a chosen shadow type to every image but it could get messy very quickly. Blockquotes would probably also be fine but divs would almost certainly have very unexpected results for most users.

    It would also cause problems for nested divs and blockquotes as I don't parse the html fully but rather use regular expressions to find the next closing statement.

    I'll see if I can do a little playing around and see what happens but I'll definitely need to setup a non-live site first (so it might be a while).

    Aradke,

    Love the plugin, but I'm actually having problems with how it displays in IE 8.
    The html coded divs and blockquotes show up fine, but for some reason, the images that I modify in the advanced tab as you mentioned come out with a white box of equal size to the image, directly underneath the image.

    If you go to http://eugenetherapy.com/test/?page_id=2 (in IE 8) you'll see what I mean. BTW shows up perfect in IE7 and Firefox.

    Thanks for any help!

    Hi marczola,

    There is a problem that is causing IE8 to not display correctly in native mode. I haven't had time to find exactly what it is but the simplest (though least elegant) solution is to force it into 'IE7 Standards mode' as described on MSDN here.

    This just involves putting the following into the HTML <head> section of your pages (probably via your themes header.php):
    <meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="IE=EmulateIE7" />

    I'm not happy with this solution, as I would prefer that IE moved forward towards proper standards support and this sort of thing doesn't help, but unfortunately I can't always devote the time needed to work out every bug that is triggered in IE. :-(

    Regards,
    Andrew
