Page Shadow, Help Needed!

Hi, I'd been looking for a code that can help me put a shadow on my page. I finally found something I decided to twik a bit...just like this:

<style type="text/css">
<!--
body {
background-image: url(images/bg_grd.gif);
background-repeat: no-repeat;
}
.centerContentShadow
{
    background-image: url(images/bg-trns.png);
    background-repeat:repeat-y;
    width:800px;
	margin-top: -20px;
    z-index:-1;
}
#centerContent
{
    background-image: url(images/bg-inner.gif);
    width:770px; 
    margin-left:12px;
	margin-right:12px;
   	border-left:1.2px solid #003366;
    border-right:1.2px solid #003366;
}

-->
</style>

....and then the

<body><center><div class="centerContentShadow"><div id="centerContent">
  <p>&nbsp;</p>
  <p>&nbsp;</p>
  <p>&nbsp;</p>
  <p>&nbsp;</p>
  <p>&nbsp;</p>
  <p>&nbsp;</p>
  <p>&nbsp;</p>
  <p>&nbsp;</p>
  <p>&nbsp;</p>
  <p>&nbsp;</p>
  <p>&nbsp;</p>
  <p>&nbsp;</p>
  <p>&nbsp;</p>
  <p>&nbsp;</p>
  <p>&nbsp;</p>
  <p>&nbsp;</p>
  <p>&nbsp;</p>
  </div></div>
 </center>
</body>

...Don't mind the '<p>' tags. Was just trying to pull down the div to appreciate the effect. It's working well in Opera and Firefox but not IE. Can anyone show me what I need to do? You can check out the page here http://havilahandhills.com/test
Thanks,
Havilah
ATTN: Deacon, if u r still here, longtime? I'd really I appreciate your input in this. Thanks

Re: Need help to show an image on my site before my flash loads?

No. I wanted my backgound image on my movie to show while the entire movie is loading instead of the background colour. But I've solved this. I needed to lock the layer containing the image which I didn't do. Thanks

Re: drop down menu over flash

Adding the following parameter to your flash object:
<param name=wmode value="transparent">
should work for most browsers.

Will this also help me display and image on my page while my flah loads? If not, how can I achieve that? Thanks in advance.

Re: Trying To Use CSS

Deacon, Thanks I did it and it worked. I discovered that Style Rules above seem to affect the one below if applied together in that order.

My padding top and left attributed, refused to work leaving me with the option of controlling the entire content margin with the blockqoute style properties - though the td tag is defines as a .text style rule.
Thanks,
Uche Aniche

Re: Trying To Use CSS

Deacon,
I'm supposed to put that in the text in the .text class style?
Meanwhile it seems to me like Dreamweaver 8 doesn't support that. I noticed it before I did that post (as in I saw it, but somehow - I can't explain it disappeared and has never re-appeared. lol) Maybe I'm not doing the right thing. This is the link www.gasstocksltd.com
Thanks

Re: Trying To Use CSS

Deacon,
Long time, hope you r fine? I did that stuff using blockqoute. This is the CSS code:

</script>
<style type="text/css">
 
body {
 background-color: #bea163;
 margin-top: -3px;
 margin-bottom: -20px;
}
.text {
 font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
 font-size: 15px;
 font-style: normal;
 line-height: 1.2;
 font-weight: lighter;
 font-variant: normal;
 color: #000000;
 text-align: left;
 vertical-align: top;
 padding-right: 5px;
 padding-left: 2px;
 padding-top: 8px;
}
.image {
 float: left;
 margin-top: 8px;
 margin-right: 20px;
 margin-bottom: 3px;
 margin-left: 0px;
}
a:link {
 text-decoration: none;
}
a:visited {
 text-decoration: none;
}
a:hover {
 text-decoration: underline;
}
a:active {
 text-decoration: none;
}
#Layer1 {
 position:absolute;
 left:215px;
 top:221px;
 width:126px;
 height:140px;
 z-index:1;
 visibility: visible;
}
.style1 {
 color: #2D1E5A;
 font-weight: bold;
}td img {display: block;}td img {display: block;}
.bg-image {
 background-image: url(images/interface_r2_c2.gif);
 background-repeat: no-repeat;
}
#Layer2 {
 position:absolute;
 left:327px;
 top:234px;
 width:142px;
 height:124px;
 z-index:1;
}
</style>

and, this is the html:

<td colspan="13" rowspan="11" valign="top" bgcolor="#DBDBEB" class="text"><blockquote><span class="style1"><img src="images/refinery.gif" alt="refinery" width="198" height="136" class="image" />Gasstocks Limited</span> is a Nigerian Company strategically positioned to offer Front-End Engineering Design, Construction, Maintenance and Management of Process plants/pipelines as well as support Marine logistics operations.

Re: Trying To Use CSS

Deacon, thanks once more. There's something I'm thinking you could show me. Someone had tried to post it here before, but I didn't understand it. Maybe you can help me. It's about using CSS to add shadow to a page. If you noticed that page has shadow, but that shadow came with an image. I can get a way with it like that, but that could be limiting. Better still, I'll prefer to learn the proper thing, since there's a better way. Can you help with some explanation, that I can understand?

Re: Trying To Use CSS

Deacon, thanks so much. I just can't thank you enough. Yeah, haven't updated the site yet. Still working on it. I'll send the real link to your e-mail box later if you don't mind. As per the Flash working on Opera, maybe it's my systems setting. All my flash work don't work on opera, but some how I think I like that because it helps me know how my sites will behave in old browsers. Though I'll like to know why so I can turn it on at will.

One last question, I know using blockquote is the main thing, but breaking like I did worked just fine, didn't it or was there something I was suppose to know. Ok! maybe using that, easily gives one away as an amateur, right? LOL

Stay cool, and God bless.

Re: Trying To Use CSS

Deacon, thanks so much. I removed the stuffs you aked me to and it worked on Opera. I'm yet to test it on Firefox. BUt I think it will work. However, I didn't get what you were trying to say about the 'p' tag. If I remove that, how do I then achieve 'Paragraphing'? I also noticed that my flash animation isn't working on Opera, I don't know if it's my systems setting or it's a problem with the code. I don't know if you have an idea why.

Re: Getting high PageRank 6 or more

Some factors affecting PageRank are:
-Anchor Text of a link
-Prominence of a link within a document
-Relevance between web pages
-Importance of the linking pages
-Age of linking pages
-Age of your domain
For example, you have no control over the age of your domain, or the what the other sites do to their webpages.
So, bottomline, the best the PageRank prediction software gets you, is at a PR6. That's not too shabby.
Hope this helps:-)

Shimon, your reply here might have made some sence, but truth is, I'm a novice when it comes to search engine optimisation. could you please do me some foundations so I'll be able to catch up with you guys atleast? Thanks in advance.
