Wow!! Thanks for the offer. However, after looking at your link, it appears this wouldn't work for IE 7 and 8 which is my target audience. MS's complete disregard for standards has been a big pet peeve of mine for years. PNG transparency could open the door for some nice effects. Unfortunately, too many still use IE and that poses problems for many web designers.

Again, thanks for your responses. I appreciate your help.

Let me know if you get stuck.

Let me know if you get stuck. I do a lot of Drupal theming work and can probably pinpoint the place where you need to add the code.

Thanks for your response.

Thanks for your response. Unfortunately, I'm using Drupal for the site and a specific pre-written theme. I'll take a closer look at the theme's style sheet and see how difficult it would be to redo the part I need.

Thanks again.

Have you considered using CSS

Have you considered using CSS box-shadow or text-shadow? Both are pretty widely supported (see: text-shadow, box-shadow) as long as you embrace progressive enhancement and don't expect the design to look exactly the same in every browser. I find those to be a much cleaner and easier way to apply subtle shadows.

Sorry I can't answer your original question!
