problem with filters

[kurai]

i think i've supplied all the neccasary html onto my style sheet for 'a:hover', but for some reason the filter (dropshadow) isn't appearing when i put my mouse over the link. i could just be my computer or more likely my html as other filters appear on other websites. anyways here is where i implemented the filter:

a:hover {text-decoration: none; cursor: n-resize; color: #00ff00; cursor: help; filter: dropshadow(Color=#000000, OffX=1, OffY=1);}

any help with this matter would be appreciated :D

i have come to believe that perhaps your offset from the dropshadow to the actual link text itself is too small to visually make a distinction between the two, thus, "morphing the dropshadow and link text together which is producing that darker lime-green color
