css shadows on tables, divs, etc.

[NoAssmblyReqdGA]

Greetings All,

My question is how do I get shadows on the edges of my tables, divs, etc. like I see on many sites? For example, http://www.gatech.edu. What's the "standard" way to go about this?

Thanks in advance!

Most people do what that site did. Just use drop shadow images created in a paint program or the background image of a DIV tag. (they made a semi transparent gif so it would blend better with the patterned background image used in the body)

There are some techniques that use a more CSS type of approach, but they are also semi labor intensive and not guaranteed to work in all browsers:
