Shadowboxwtw
Current version: shadowboxwtw2-1.5v1.0.2
Content Plugin to display the selected text in a magazine style cut-out text box with a drop shadow effect.
Pure CSS no javascript.
Admin Backend parameters to change include:-
TextBox text - the font-colour, size, style, alignment.
TextBox - background colour.
TextBox - border-style, colour and size.
Drop shadow - left or right, colour and size.
Position - Float left, right or none.
Echo or repeat text.
Plugin overrides to allow all 15 options in the Plugin tag in the frontend tag.
Better late than never.
But beside that, this is a must have for every toolbox!
Thanks for the review. Have you tried setting the bounding box colour to the same colour as the shadow box?
Have separate stylesheet for IE to solve other formatting problems and added:-
.wtwshadowboxbot2 {
width:100%;
}
Seems to have done the trick for me at least!

This issue has been fixed in version 0.6 due for release when this project gets moved to the new forge. The Joomla team say this will be before the end of the month (April).
This type of IE6 problem is rare and version 0.5 works for most templates, glad you were able to use the second named css class in your external stylesheet to target and solve your problem.
I love it, but unfortunately IE6 is still around, so this bug must be fixed somewhat.
Anyway, as soon as it's fixed I'll reinstall it.
Well done! ;-)
I have setup a test page for this problem, http://www.websthatwork.co.uk/shadow-box.
It works in my IE6. Use my Discussion tab over at the Forge so we can get this sorted out. http://forge.joomla.org/sf/discussion/do/listForums/projects.wtw_shadow_box/discussion
Lastly, it would be more useful if the front-end tag attributes included all those of the back-end.
Please keep up the good work!
Margins are set as css shorthand 2px 4px, this is the same as 2px top and bottom, 4px right and left. I am working on adding more to front end, but the next release will be focused on the backend
