The problem with the box-shadow being seen through a transparent background is that people expect box-shadow to work on boxes that don't specify an explicit background. For example if a box has a border but a transparent background, box-shadow should stlll work. Unlike text-shadow, box shadows are not really "cast" by anything. dave
