box-shadow ?

[JoeB]

Hi-

I'm new to top style, and to CSS ! So I have a few questions/comments/observations that I hope someone could comment on please?


In Css3, 'box-shadow' should take at least 2 params, but topstyle only allows 1 to be entered when using the style inspector drop menus. There is no + symbol to show all the values that are possible like there is for 'border-bottom' for example.

Have you tried Style Insight? (Ctrl+Space). For some properties (including box-shadow) Style Insight is better than Style Inspector.

Style insight shows exactly the same as the style inspector. Can box-shadow be fully added? I use this quite a bit !

[TopStyle Support]

Style Insight should list all possible values (for all params)

[JoeB]

Hi- insight isn't listing them for box-shadow. Can you raise this as a bug please?

[TopStyle Support]

Insight/Inspector is listing:
* the "Length" property editor for the following arguments: h-shadow, v-shadow, blur
* the "Choose Color" property editor, standard colors, and named colors for the color of the shadow
* the optional argument named "inset"

As far as I can tell, these are all the arguments. I have tried this example, and Style Check (F6) is not reporting any problems for CSS3:

Code: Select all

a {
   box-shadow: 10px 10px 5px #888888;
}


This makes me believe TopStyle 5 is supporting all the arguments. Please let me know if I'm missing anything. Thanks!

[JoeB]

Ah yes, I was trying to explain that the Length property is not separated into its arguments (h-shadow, v-shadow, blur) like has been done for others in the inspector by means of sub-tree items.

Shorthand properties (such as background and border) have child items in the Inspector (and groups in Insight). box-shadow is not a shorthand property.

[JoeB]

It would be useful to add this to properties that are not shorthand, then i wouldnt need to lookup the arguments from google each time i need to use them.

Please try hitting 'F1' on a start tag or CSS property to bring up a help page.
