Hi,
I need to drop a shadow for the ddl block on my home page and am using Jquery eye candy. I am not able to understand how to make it work as I am adding the code as was shown in the demo page with the id for that block. The code am adding is $("#block-ddblock-1").dropShadow(); Even after this am not getting the desired result. Please let me know if am wrong some where or need a patch for the same.
http://www.network8events.com/dypsa/ this is the home page where i want to drop the shadow.
Thanks.

What exactly are you trying to shadow? The block or the images in the block?
The dropshadow plugin only shadows those things with a background color. You could set the background color for #block-ddblock-1 to red, yellow, black or whatever, but not white.

I'm having the same problem of dropshadows not showing up on my page. I'm using the following code in the configuration screen:
$('.quotes-quote p').dropShadow({left: 2, top: 2, opacity: 0.5, blur: 4});My intent is to give a shadow to the text with the following html:
<div class="quotes-quote"><p> Some text with a shadow"</p></div>I've checked the source from the browser and jquery.dropshadow.min.js is loaded and there are no errors on the page.

After downloading and examining some sites that had it working, I figured it out on my own.
Here's the mistake I made, in case anyone else is having this problem. I mistakenly used this function call:
$(document).ready(function()When I should have used this:
window.onload = function()That made all the difference.
