How to get the Effect

[sammy]

I have started my HTML coding and I have text in my HTML page some of which needs to have a shadow effect at its background. I know that I could achieve this using CSS properties. Is there any other way I could do this using HTML?

Yes you can achieve the shadow effect to text at its background only by using CSS as below:

shadow {width:300; height:100; filter: Shadow(Color=red, Direction=90)}

In the above the option field depicts that text is have the shadow effect. The direction option denotes that the text is to be placed at right direction.

After finishing as above you can place the text as below:

EXFORSYS TRAINING

This would give shadow effect to the text EXFORSYS TRAINING

No not in HTML. The CSS would be the only way you can achieve this. The only other way you could do this would be with a graphic as the background. But if you are going to do that it is easier with CSS.

The CSS filter:shadow functionality is only available in Internet Explorer. Firefox or other Gecko based browsers do not support this.

Doing a quick search there doesnt seem to be any cross browser way that works, there is a CSS property called text-shadow however this requires CSS2 support and is seemingly unimplemented on browsers.
