I've got a page with dropdown menus (www.drbova.com). Each dropdown is a
layer that becomes visible and stays visible using some onmousover behaviors.
It works fine, but there's a visual effect that I'm trying (unsucessfully)
to add.

I would like the dropdowns to have a shadow. I can't find any way to assign
a shadow to the layers, so I instead put a rectangle onto each of them and
gave it a shadow. That works fine on some browsers, but displays the
rectangle outside of the layer on others. Opera and Firefox mess it up, and
it's even like this with some (but, oddly enough, not all) systems running
IE6.

I suppose I could add a shadowed background image to each dropdown, but then
the shadow is 100% opaque rather than semitransparent. Take a look (with
different browsers) and see what you think. I'm open to any suggestions,
though I would rather not get into Javascript and Active-X because I'm not
that good a coder.
