• CSS3 text-shadow examples

  19 March 2010 by Clive Walker

  Text-shadow is a CSS3 property (actually, it was introduced a while ago but removed from CSS2.1) that I am seeing more and more on websites these days. It works quite nicely (if used in moderation) and provides a design enhancement for those browsers that support it (Firefox, Opera, Safari, Chrome). Instead of writing a tutorial, like I normally do with CSS3, I thought I’d share a few useful links that provide more information about text-shadow.

• Multi-column layout with CSS3 (and some JavaScript)

  13 July 2009 by Clive Walker

  There’s a common newspaper and print layout method where the text of an article is arranged over several columns. This makes the article easer to read and looks quite nice visually. Wouldn’t it be great if you could do this with CSS? Well, in fact this is perfectly possible using the multi-column layout module that is part of the CSS3 specification. Whilst browser support for this is patchy, the module is now approaching candidate recommendation status, and the method can still be implemented using proprietary but well-supported CSS rule prefixes like moz and webkit in your style sheets. For browsers that do not support the multi-column layout module in any form, there’s a useful JavaScript solution.
