Jquery add drop shadow to layover

Question

I am using this layover plugin to display content: http://jquery.com/demo/grey/ I know there must be a simple way to add a drop shadow border to the layover, similar to: http://fancybox.net/ but I can't figure out what the best method would be. Any suggestions?

Answer 1

Check out the liquidCanvas plugin. It makes it very easy to add drop-shadows (and other things like gradients and borders) to any element.
