Hi People,

This one has me stumped. Using Dreamweaver 3 I have a series of letters
making up a title to the page floating up from the bottom and ending up
at the top of the page. The code is as follows:

<div id="Layer5" style="position:absolute; width:41px; height:48px;
z-index:5; left: 208px; top: 591px;
filter:shadow(color=gray,direction=135)"><b><font size="7"
face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif">rd</font></b></div>

I have added the filter code to that generate dby Dreamweaver. Now comes
the problem. This works fine in IE4 and IE5 but doesn't work in NS4.
However, if I take out the filter statement it now works in both IE and
NS. You can see it in action (or nor if you are using NS) over at:

www.record-lrc.co.uk

Is there any way to get it working with the filter in NS? If not do I
really have to get rid of the shadow just to get it working in both NS
as well as IE ?

Any help grateful received and much appreciated.

Cheers.

Steve.
