CSS: What's a good way to create a raised box effect?

Question

That is, the left and bottom borders of the element need to give a 3d effect of it popping out. Is there a good, purely-CSS way to accomplish this effect?

Answer 1

#foo {
    /* ... */
    border:8px outset #999;
    -webkit-box-shadow: 5px 5px 15px rgba(0,0,0,0.4);
    -moz-box-shadow: 5px 5px 15px rgba(0,0,0,0.4);
}

Yes, the effect here is cheesily-extreme, indended to showcase what is possible.
