There is error in the CSS2 text-shadow definition that hasn't been remedied in the latest errata. The current value definition for the text-shadow property reads: none | [<color> || <length> <length> <length>? ,]* [<color> || <length> <length> <length>?] | inherit The problem is the comma that is supposed to separate the shadow effects. The value definition doesn't allow commas in between colors, nor does it allow a color immediately after an offset/blur length unless it is the last effect in the list. Even the following example from page 240 of the CSS2 spec is invalid given the current value syntax: text-shadow: 3px 3px red, yellow -3px 3px 2px, 3px -3px The definition can be fixed through explicit grouping: none | [[<color> || <length> <length> <length>?] ,]* [<color> || <length> <length> <length>?] | inherit -- Terje <terje@in-progress.com> | Media Design in*Progress Software for Mac Web Professionals at <http://www.in-progress.com> Take Advantage of Server Side XML and XSL with Interaction!
