How is this drop shadow acheived?

I like the drop shadow effect on this site that gives the impression of
a piece of paper:

http://www.dacvs.org.uk/

I have looked at the style sheet and the html but cannot figure it out.
Could someone please explain, with reference to the relevant bit in the
style sheet.

Thanks.

Just a fixed width background image:
style.css (line 19)
#wrap {
background:tran sparent url(images/bg2.gif) repeat-y scroll 0%;
margin:0pt auto;
padding:5px 0pt;
width:807px;
}

When inspecting an existing website I can recommend Firebug in FF, it took
me about 4 seconds total finding this out.

Hi, What is the best way to add a drop shadow around table borders with just html and css that looks nice and works in most browsers? I have written a program for making online web site calendars, and I want to add a drop shadow effect around the calendars, without having to use images.

Hi, I would like to present one column, extending from the top to the bottom of the viewport, with textured "drop-down shadow" and a textured background. A bit like http://www.blogger.com/, but with textures instead of solid colors and more importantly the column should adapt to the viewport's width and to the default font size. Here is my tentative checklist: * column width of 50em, or 100% of viewport's width, whichever is smaller

I'm designing an application framework which will, amongst other things, live in an assembly hosted in the ASP.NET worker process, servicing webservice requests. Here's the scenario: APPFX is our application framework assembly. It has no life of its own - it's designed to provide components that are glued together by another, main application assembly - let us call it APP. Thus, APP uses APPFX, and APP is registered with ASP.NET as a...

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
