 * Did not install the plugin but i really must say: nice ideea! and good implementation
   
   About the problem with IE6.. it can be fixed! look into it! there is a way to
   show transparent png’s in IE6! Maybe you will include that in future versions.
   keep up the good work!

 * Thanks for the comments.
 * With regard to IE6 the transparency can be dealt with but then the shadow image
   returns to its original width rather than the width of the parent div. In the
   end the most reliable option was to not display it though I guess I could make
   it an option in the settings.

 * Really nice plugin … but … would be nice to have the option to have the effect
   default to on. Maybe a check box for each allowed media or CSS type.

 * Thanks gerenm.
 * I could probably look at adding an option to add a chosen shadow type to every
   image but it could get messy very quickly. Blockquotes would probably also be
   fine but divs would almost certainly have very unexpected results for most users.
 * It would also cause problems for nested divs and blockquotes as I don’t parse
   the html fully but rather use regular expressions to find the next closing statement.
 * I’ll see if I can do a little playing around and see what happens but I’ll definitely
   need to setup a non-live site first (so it might be a while).

 * Aradke,
 * Love the plugin, but I’m actually having problems with how it displays in IE 
   8.
    The html coded divs and blockquotes show up fine, but for some reason, the
   images that I modify in the advanced tab as you mentioned come out with a white
   box of equal size to the image, directly underneath the image.
 * If you go to [http://eugenetherapy.com/test/?page_id=2](http://eugenetherapy.com/test/?page_id=2)(
   in IE 8) you’ll see what I mean. BTW shows up perfect in IE7 and Firefox.
 * Thanks for any help!

 * Hi marczola,
 * There is a problem that is causing IE8 to not display correctly in native mode.
   I haven’t had time to find exactly what it is but the simplest (though least 
   elegant) solution is to force it into ‘_IE7 Standards mode_‘ as described on 
   MSDN [here](http://blogs.msdn.com/ie/archive/2008/06/10/introducing-ie-emulateie7.aspx).
 * This just involves putting the following into the HTML <head> section of your
   pages (probably via your themes header.php):
    `<meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible"
   content="IE=EmulateIE7" />`
 * I’m not happy with this solution, as I would prefer that IE moved forward towards
   proper standards support and this sort of thing doesn’t help, but unfortunately
   I can’t always devote the time needed to work out every bug that is triggered
   in IE. 🙁
 * Regards,
    Andrew
