Inner shadow effect on UIView layer?



I have the following CALayer:







CAGradientLayer *gradient = [CAGradientLayer layer];

gradient.frame = CGRectMake(8, 57, 296, 30);

gradient.cornerRadius = 3.0f;

gradient.colors = [NSArray arrayWithObjects:(id)[RGB(130, 0, 140) CGColor], (id)[RGB(108, 0, 120) CGColor], nil];

[self.layer insertSublayer:gradient atIndex:0];







I'd like to add an inner shadow effect to it, but I am not quite sure how to do this. I suppose I would be required to draw in drawRect, however this would add the layer on top of other UIView objects, since it's supposed to be a bar behind some buttons, so I am at a loss as to what to do?





I could add another layer, but again, not sure how to achieve the inner shadow effect (like this: http://sublimeorange.com/uploads/2009/09/innershadow.png )





Help appreciated...

Why is this Javascript much *slower* than its jQuery equivalent?

I have a HTML list of about 500 items and a "filter" box above it. I started by using jQuery to filter the list when I typed a letter (timing code added later): $('#filter').keyup( function() { var jqStart = (new Date).getTime(); var search = $(this).val().toLowerCase(); var $list = $('ul.ablist > li'); $list.each( function() { if ( $(this).text().toLowerCase().indexOf(search) === -1 ) $(this).hide(); else $(this).show(); } ); console.log('Time: ' + ((new Date).getTime() - jqStart)); } ); However, there was a couple of seconds delay after typing each letter (particularly the first letter). So I thought it may be slightly quicker if I used plain Javascript (I read recently that jQuery's each function is particularly slow). Here's my JS equivalent: document.getElementById('filter').addEventListener( 'keyup', function () { var jsStart = (new Date).getTime()...
