Firstly you can mask the box by giving the box an opaque background, like blue. Opacity doesn't just effect the box but the contents of the box like text and what happen with the stacking order and z-index? >> How can spread work if backgrounds are always opaque? > > See http://bradclicks.com/cssplay/Shadows.html > > ~fantasai What about a spread that go inside the box.
