Is it possible to use this filter to create a directionless drop shadow (The shadow appears on all sides of a div?)
filter: progid:DXImageTransform.Microsoft.Shadow(color='#969696', Direction=145, Strength=3);
It would create something similar to:
box-shadow: 0 0 4px #969696;
There is not a cross-browser semantic way to approach creating box-shadow functionality in IE. The .Shadow() filter you have is the closest you’re going to get.
Also, this page should prove to be an informative read.
