Hi, One of the problems with text-shadow is with glow effect where text color and background are same: span.glow { background: white; color: white; text-shadow: black 0px 0px 5px; } When UA doesn't support text-shadow, the text is not visible. Possible solution is to have optional text color as first item in text-shadow list: none | [<color>, ]? [<shadow>, ] * <shadow> <color> can't be mistaken with <shadow>. The above example will look like (with fallback to black text color): span.glow { background: white; color: black; text-shadow: white, black 0px 0px 5px; } In addition to change in "Value:", I propose the following text to replace the first sentence: "This property accepts a comma-separated list of shadow effects to be applied to the text of the element." with "This property accepts a comma-separated list of shadow effects to be applied to the text of the element, optionally preceded by <color>. If <color> is specified, it is used as foreground color overriding what is specified with 'color' property." Regards, Ognyan Kulev
