Thought I’d use this, I didn’t want to keep filling the forum with my topics and its along the same line.
I’m trying to now make my design cross browser compliant and as part of that I’m trying to use the filter for IE to render a drop shadow around my page as I’ve done in Chrome and Firefox but for whatever reason, apart from IE sucking, it applies the dropshadow to the objects WITHIN the DIV rather than the DIV itself 
The site is here: http://workclaims.mediaxombie.com
Not sure what code would be useful to post so hope this is helpful

I was able to get £3,534 in compensation for my injury plus the additional £200 bonus money so I was very happy with how the staff handled my claim. I would definitely go to them in the future if I ever needed to claim again, though hopefully that won't be happening. Thanks cash4aClaim."</p><b>~Dr. V., Oldham</b>
