I have a searchbox with auto-suggest that pops a div up underneath it with multiple search string suggestions (like google). Is it possible to have drop shadow on the auto-suggest box with CSS or will I need a script of some sort? I tried a background image but the number of suggests can vary from 1 to 10 or 15.
I'd prefer something that works in IE6+ and FF2+ if possible. Thanks!

dropshadow
This works for me on all my browsers:
.shadow {
-moz-box-shadow: 0 0 30px 5px #999;
-webkit-box-shadow: 0 0 30px 5px #999;
}
then just give any div the shadow class, no jQuery required.
CSS3 has a box-shadow property. Vendor prefixes are required at the moment for maximum browser compatibility.
div.box-shadow {
-webkit-box-shadow: 2px 2px 4px 1px #fff;
box-shadow: 2px 2px 4px 1px #fff;
}
There is a generator available at css3please.
you might want to try this. Seems to be pretty easy and works on IE6 and Moz atleast.
<div id ="show" style="background-color:Silver;width:100px;height:100px;visibility:visible;border-bottom:outset 1px black;border-right:outset 1px black;" ></div>
The general syntax is : border-[postion]:[border-style] [border-width] [border-color] | inherit
The list of available [border-style]s are :
The most widely compatible way of doing this is likely going to be creating a second div under your auto-suggest box the same size as the box itself, nudged a few pixels down and to the right. You can use JS to create and position it, which shouldn't be terribly difficult if you're using a fairly modern framework.
.shadow {
-moz-box-shadow: 3px 3px 5px 6px #ccc;
-webkit-box-shadow: 3px 3px 5px 6px #ccc;
box-shadow: 3px 3px 5px 6px #ccc;
}
You can try using the PNG drop shadows. IE6 doesn't support it, however it will degrade nicely.
