Re: [css-text-decor]: text-shadow should also apply to replaced content, like semi-transparent images

Hi,


filter: drop-shadow(); is a good alternative. Thank you for the suggestion!


However, I still cannot get rid of the feeling that the text-shadow property is crippled when it differenciates between text and replaced content. Probably the property name has not been the best choice to take.


Cheers,

Axel

Hi.
Also there are filter: drop-shadow(); which behave in such way.
Is there any reason not to use it?
