This uses only browser-native functionality. Also, another minor plus point: when you select the knock-out tekst in my example it remains readable. not-so in sIFR ;) Liam, you are right, it would look better with sIFR, but that adds flash to the game.

Yes it's arguable that this is certainly not the most elegant solution, but it does solve most of the problems presented above and comes with the added benefit of being a great deal more configurable. http://dev.novemberborn.net/sifr3/beta2/demo/ Or you could just use sifr to do the same thing (and have the added advantage of any font you like).

About your example - I tested it with Opera 9.10 and it seems to me that text-shadow is not supported. Nice info, I didn’t know about this opportunity.

Be careful with a text color equal to the background color, like your example. I think the best solution is a small JavaScript that can check witch elements use the text-shadow, and then generate the duplicate content and the shadow with the same color and offset as set in the <code>text-decoration</code> property. Wouldn't be the most difficult JavaScript to code. (Of course the JavaScript is inserted by a conditional comment.) The idea is very nice, a very large part of the users can see the nice text shadow.
