My understanding was based on following Shi's link [1], which leads to a page [2] that has a link to the site, where there is a navigation strip in which the shadow seems to be laying with the other elements in an undesirable way. So it looks like either cropping the shadow or having a way to send it to a different z-index (outside the element's context) would be the most direct way to solve the problem. > The way you described the corner joins in a way that is not how box-shadow currently works makes me wonder if this can not be done another way. > > The below demo may be more the rendering you are wanting. > > http://css-class.com/test/css/3/gradients/drop-shadows.htm I don't think so. You can do that sort of thing more easily by using a negative spread on an inset shadow. 1) http://stackoverflow.com/questions/4909561/css3-box-shadow-on-top-left-and-right-only 2 http://innovideoproductions.com/
