use box-shadow to shadow the div -- this is box-shadow:15px -15px 4px gray

text-shadow: horizontal Vertical blur colour

This is text-shadow: 0px -5px 0 red

This is text-shadow: 10px -10px 2px red

You can even make some text look like its pressed in to the screen
by using shadowing effects eg...

EXAMPLE OF PRESSED TEXT

.pressed { font-size: 3em;
background-color: #666666;
-webkit-background-clip: text;
-moz-background-clip: text;
-background-clip: text;
color:transparent;
text-shadow: 0px 3px 3px rgba(255, 255, 255, 0.7); }

Lets play with an image

...This will make a .png image (an image with transparencies in it) show up with a shadow of the image - not the box
using: -webkit-filter: drop-shadow(15px 25px 2px rgba(0, 0, 255, 0.25));
