shadow text

Hi

Please explain to me why text-shadow effect doesn't work when I apply it to
text through css. I heard that it is not possible in css1. What does that
mean, how do I know if I can render css2 and css3 or not.
Thanks for the answers

Implement CSS2/3 text-shadow property
https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=10713
Priority 5, severity minor but 90 votes so far

Only Safari 1.2+ and WebTV can render decently text-shadow according to
W3C web standards; MSIE 6 can render text-shadow through proprietary
extensions. The interesting part is that the specs indicate that blur
radius and shadow color are optional: so more browsers could probably be
able to support the shadow offset only and still claim to be able to
offer minimal support for text-shadow.
