Nice

the gray shadow is set at .75 (or 75% transparent)

Don’t you mean “75% opaque”, or “25% transparent”? With that value, you’ll see 75% of the gray, and 25% of the color underneath.

If I remember correctly Safari 2 (and down) doesn’t support RGBA but does support text-shadow. I believe Opera 9.5 is the other one.

Mandy, thanks so much! I assumed they were added at the same time, now I know better!

RGBA is supported in Safari 3.2+, Chrome 3+, Firefox 3+, and Opera 10+ (and IE9 beta). So, older versions of Safari, Chrome, Firefox, and Opera support text-shadow but not RGBA.

I had one question about your RGB fallback. I had always made the assumption that every browser that supports text-shadow also supports rgba, but your article indicates that is not the case. Do you know which browsers support text-shadow but not rgba?
