The shadow plugin creates a drop shadow for the selected element(s). The element(s) selected must be absolute positioned or if they are not they are made absolutely positioned.

action
An action verb string performed on the shadow:

• hide - hides the shadow
  

if no action verb (string) is passed the options value can be used as the first parameter.

options
The following options and their default values are available:

var opt = { offset: 5,
        color: "#535353",
        opacity: 0.85,
        callback: null,
        zIndex: 100
    };

refreshOnly
Internally used to refresh the shadow only rather than recreating it. Generally you don't need to worry about this parameter.

Simple Example

// Create a simple shadow with default settings
$("#divDialog").shadow();

// Create with a couple of custom options
$("#divFloatWindow").shadow( { offset: 8, opacity: .40 } );

// Hide the shadow
$("#divDialog").shadow("hide");
