Hi,

I am using a png image for shadow for the site. My major problem is that I have a rounded box layout. So I dont feel css will work for me as page height will fluctuate. I also have a flash header. I have applied a full size shadow for the flash bg. Also i have specified the wmode=transparent property but the shadow doesnt show ☹ at all while for the rest of the page the png behaves funny its not at all transparent. Can anyone explain why and what is the solution. I cannot use gif as it doesent support the gradient effect also my main bg has a gradient with slanted lines. Hence I am forced to use a png. Please help.
