WeBuilder 2014: edit box properties - no shadow preview

Post by Distendo »

When using the CSS Edit box properties option, I get no preview of the shadow (inset or not).

Any ideas?

Can you give us the CSS selector that you're trying to preview?

I'm presuming this is what you requested. It's from an external css file:

.sideBox {
display: block;
width: 250px;
background-color: #fbfbfb;
padding: 10px;
border-radius: 10px 10px;
box-shadow: 4px 4px 3px #000000;
-webkit-box-shadow: 4px 4px 3px rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.3);
margin-left: 1px;
margin-right: 1px;
margin-top: 10px;
margin-bottom: 5px;
border-width: 1px;
border-style: solid;
border-color: #888888
}

That's strange, I see the shadow just fine. Could you send me a screenshot with the Shadow tab selected in the Box Properties dialog for this rule?

Could it be that you have IE8 installed on your computer? Since box properties editor uses IE preview, it is essential that you have at least IE9 or IE10 installed on your computer. If you have IE8 from the stone age then you won't be able to see the shadow.

That's the reason.
I'm still on XP, so IE8 is it.
Fortunately there's still Firefox, Opera and Chrome...

Thanks for clearing that up.
