Filters In Css

i cant rly work out how to use them, if i set them dreamweaver sets them as a error, could ne1 help with this, maybe its because im inputting the wrong value's, i couldnt find any tutorials on this on pixel2life or other sites to help with this either =\ if some1 could help so i could use them would be great thanks

 

What are you trying to do?

 

css ?
cascading style sheets ?
counter strike source ?


be more specific man.

 

the filter attribute in CSS is a way for setting opacity in Internet explorer.

an example would be:

Code:

filter: alpha(opacity=50);

just change the 50 to whatever you want, but it has to be between 0 and 100

 

Is it cross-browser?

 

no, there are 3 different attributes for setting opacity. In order to make them work in all 3 major browsers (IE, Opera, FireFox) you need to set all 3 of them. But, we warned that none of the attributes are standards friendly .

IE:

Code:

filter: alpha(opacity=50);

Firefox:

Code:

-moz-opacity: 0.5;

Opera:

Code:

opacity: 0.5;

so, in the end, it's best not to use them at all, unless it's for small tings like image rollovers (it makes a nice little effect).

 

erm, to the dude talking about counter strike source, why the hell would i post in a website design forum if i ment that lol....

and i would like to know how to use drop shadow function....i dont rly know what values to enter where...

 

to use drop shadows is a complicated thing. You have to use negative margins, the fuzzy images, and lots of other little tricks. Then there is the task in cross browser compatibility.

I'm not really in the mood of explaining it here. So here is a little tutorial on how to make CSS drop shadows: http://www.dynamicdrive.com/style/csslibra...e-drop-shadows/
