Adding a dropshadow to a dropdown menu

Is it possible to add a dropshadow to this menu even though I am using images for the items that currently dropdown? The reason I ask because when you mouse over the main navigation and then go to the items below all the links that are hovered over take on the color of #777.

* {
margin: 0;
padding: 0;
}
body {
background: transparent url('sample_bg.png') repeat-x 0 0;
}
#bodywrapper {
margin: 37px auto 0;
max-width: 960px;
min-width: 600px;
padding: 10px;
background: #fdfdfd;
}
* html #pagewrapper {
width: 960px;
}
#header {
margin: 0 0 4px;
height: 100px;
background: #ccc;
}
/* topmost navlink styles */
#nav {
margin: 0 auto;
width: 960px;
height: 40px;
font: bold 13px/1.2 Arial;

}

#nav ul li {
    float: left;
    width: 120px;
    list-style: none;
}
#nav ul li a {
    display: block;
    visibility: visible;
    /*border: 1px solid #999;*/
    padding-top: 12px;
    height: 28px;
    background: url("nav_image.png") repeat-x -81px 100%;
    color: #ddd;
    text-decoration: none;
	 text-align: center;
}
#nav ul li a:hover {
    background:url('nav_image.png') repeat-x -40px 0%;
}
/*----- Begin Second Level ----- */
#nav ul,
#nav ul ul li{
    position: relative;
    margin: 0;
    padding: 0;
}
#nav ul li ul {
    position: absolute;
    left: -999em;
    top: 40px;

    height: 40px;
}
#nav ul li:hover ul ul,
#nav ul li.sfhover ul ul {
    left: -999em;
}
#nav ul li:hover ul,
#nav ul li.sfhover ul,
#nav ul ul li:hover ul,
#nav ul ul li.sfhover ul {
    left: auto;
}
#nav ul ul.subhor-1item li {
    width: 120px;
}
#nav ul ul.subhor-2items li {
    width: 240px;
}
#nav ul ul.subhor-3items li {
    width: 160px;
}
#nav ul ul.subhor-4items li {
    width: 120px;
}
#nav ul ul ul li {
    clear: left;
}
/****** Link Styling ******/
#nav ul li:hover a,
#nav ul li.sfhover a,
#nav ul li a:hover {
    background:#777;
    color: #eee;
}
#nav ul li a:hover {
		background: url('nav_image.png') repeat-x -40px 0%;
}
#nav ul li ul li a:hover {
    background: url('subver_bg.png');
    color: #fff;
}
#contentwrapper {
margin-top: 5px;
height: 750px;
background: #e3e3e2;
}

The trick is, you need the shadow the adjust to each size drop. You could do whati did here. All the links/etc are in there. http://www.visibilityinherit.com/code/mega-drop-down.php

Are the empty bold class tags the items holding the images?

Yes :slight_smile:
