"View source" is that window that you get if you hit ctrl+u or view/page source.
Moving this to Firefox:General which is of course wrong because all rendering is done in Core but is good enough until triaged.

I can not see a shadow if I open http://www.acbraun.com/ with IE7.
Would you please recheck with FF3.0x and attach a screenshot showing the "shadow" that you are missing.

If you load www.acbraun.com and click on photography - there should be a shadow behind the images. This shadow can be seen, if you open the same sites with safari.

That's why we have "steps to reproduce" because it's not easy to figure out the exact steps to find the problem. Most people don't want to search "a half hour" and that might be the problem why nobody looked into this report in one year.

Steps to reproduce:
1: open http://www.acbraun.com/
2. click on Photo
3. click on one of the small images
3. The image is without shadow, compare with IE7 or Safari and there is a shadow around the image.

I will try to look into this but I'm not good at css

I created a simpler test case, which should help to get closer to the root of the problem.  You can see the distinction here...

http://www.easterbrookpainting.com/ShadowTest/logo.html

This shows a logo (png with transparent background) against a white blank background, and nothing else.  This was created in the current iWeb'08 (v2.0.4)

I will attach screenshots showing the rendering in FF 3.0.7 and Safari 3.2.1,  current releases of each.

For what it's worth, this is not just the two of us, but has been acknowledged on Apple's official support website (Dated Aug 2007)...

"Firefox does not support shadows."

The result in a current Gecko nightly looks different, marking as dupe of bug 478459
