 Shadowed Text with CSS 

Although the CSS2 property text-shadow allows interesting chiariscuro, UAs have not rushed to implement it. An example usage might be:

H1 { color: #cc3333; text-shadow: 0.2em 0.2em silver}

Although this workaround to create shadow text with CSS may be pleasing to the eyes of the CSS beholder, authors should be aware of the rendering of their carefully crafted declaration in a non-CSS aware browser. A screen shot is available.
