Re: Is there a formula for converting a linear gradient to a box-shadow?

Hi François (is it pronounced frans-va? :))

This is the kind of thing I want to use the drop shadow for:

I have this page-wide nav-bar that should drop a shadow over everything
underneath it. As far as I can see, this can't be done elegantly with
linear-gradients, although I think it might be possible with an :after
element.
