Hi

I want to put on my site a drop shadow around the main text body, then I also want 3 or 4 graphics "creeping out" from the edges of the main body underneath the drop shadow.

I can accomplish all of this by creating a div for each graphic and then layering one on top of he other. Each div would contain 1 background graphic.

the outcome is that I now have a forest of div's

Is there not a more intelligent way of doing this within HTML / CSS ... or is the only option that I photoshop a single graphic with all my images and put that in ?

I don't really want to go that route as then I am constricted.

Thanks in advance

I think you are already doing it in the best way. A single graphic would take some loading time...
