Hello,

I'm trying to create a box-shadow alternative for IE8.0. But something weird is happening.

I created a div called "div "schaduw_ie"". I also use modernizer. So in my css file I use: .no-boxshadow .schaduw_ie {bla bla}

I Actually see the shadow, but a lot smaller than the div.

I checkt with developers program in IE the DIV. When I select this class I see a blue border. And this is the actual blue border and the expected div size. But the shadow is a lot smaller.

I also tried ie-css3.htc, But this did not suit my needs.

Does someone know the trick to achieve a shadow around this div, like shown in Firefox?

I have 3 screenshot. 2time Internet Explorer. One with DXIimage checkt and one unchecked and a FF sample what I try to achieve.

Thanks in advance!!!

I'm still developing so here is the ugly code.

Bigger images

I Selected the DIV and as you can see it is surrounded with a blue border. But the shade is a lot smaller

Screen Shot 2012-07-26 at 8.29.19 PM.png

Now I unchecked it and you can see that the div got a bigger size

Firefox sample... Nice shade around the div.

Hi EsorOne, I'm wondering why

Hi EsorOne,
I'm wondering why you don't apply the ie box shadow to: .no-boxshadow #mainWrapper

Hello Tony, Fair question.

Hello Tony,

Fair question. And I already tried that solution. But at you can see, the shadow box is smaller. This was the reason that I created a extra div and put this one above the @mainWrapper. Just a work around and try and error. I get the same results when using the #mainWrapper
When i use just border 3px solid #333333; the border is shown the right way.

So I hope you have some ideas left.

see screenshot for border

Workaround

Hello All,

I did not solve the issue stated above. I just created a work around. (old fashion way)

I just created a shadow image . Sliced it in 3 slices. Top, Mid, and Bottom and used the following code:
I thought to share this with u guys.

So problem is not solved, but I got my shades...

Index.php

<body>
	<div id="topBar">
		<div id="topWrapper">
	HEADER 		
		</div>						
	</div>
 
 
 
 
	<div id="mainContainer">
	<div id="mainWrapper">
		<div id="schaduw_ie"></div>
				<div id="schaduw_ie_mid">	CONTENT HERE
						<div id="schaduw_bot">	
 
 
						</div> <!-- div schaduw_bot -->						  	
				</div> <!-- div schaduw_mid -->	
 
 
			</div> <!-- div wrapper -->
		</div> <!-- div mainWrapper -->		
	</div> <!-- div MainContainer -->	
 
		</div><div id="copyright"></div>	  
 
 
</body>

CSS

#mainContainer {
width:100%;
}
 
#mainWrapper {
width:980px;
min-height:500px;
-moz-box-shadow:3px 3px 10px #888;
-webkit-box-shadow:3px 3px 10px #888;
box-shadow:3px 3px 10px #888;
z-index:-999;
margin:0 auto;
 
 
}
 
.no-boxshadow #schaduw_ie{ 
 width:985px; 
 height: 6px;
 background-image: url(../images/schaduw_top_980.jpg);
 background-repeat: no-repeat;
 
}
 
.no-boxshadow #schaduw_ie_mid{
 
 min-height: 500px;
 width: 980px;
 background-image: url(../images/schaduw_mid_980.jpg);
 background-repeat: repeat-y;
 
 
}
 
.no-boxshadow #schaduw_bot{
 height:100px; 
 background-image: url(../images/schaduw_bot_980.jpg);
 background-repeat: no-repeat;
 width: 100%;
 
 
 
}
