Is it possible to set drop shadow for an svg element using css3 , something like

-webkit-box-shadow: -5px -5px 5px #888;

Probably an evolution, it appears that inline css filters works nicely on elements, in a certain way.

Declaring a drop-shadow css filter, in an svg element, in both a class or inline does NOT works, as specified earlier.

But, at least in Firefox, with the following wizardry:

Appending the filter declaration inline, with javascript, after DOM load.

// Does not works, with regular dynamic css styling:

shadow0.oninput = () => {
  rect1.style.filter = "filter:drop-shadow(0 0 " + shadow0.value + "rem black);"
}

// Okay! Inline styling, appending.

shadow1.oninput = () => {
  rect1.style += " ;filter:drop-shadow(0 0 " + shadow1.value + "rem black);"
  rect2.style += " ;filter:drop-shadow(0 0 " + shadow1.value + "rem black);"
}

Firefox only

Does not works!
