Drop Shadow

Hi,
What is the best way to add a drop shadow around table borders with
just html and css that looks nice and works in most browsers? I have
written a program for making online web site calendars, and I want to
add a drop shadow effect around the calendars, without having to use
images.

Border style choices in CSS are limited. See
http://www.w3.org/TR/CSS2/box.html#v...f-border-style for a
description and list. Note that not all UAs support all border styles.

For any other border effects, images must be used. It is tricky and weird,
but it can be done. A List Apart had an article related to this -

Eric Meyer had some CSS code that did drop shadows without images,
using a humber of nested <div>s. However it seems to have problems
with IE6 mis-rendering the boxes and it appears to have disappeared
from www.meyerweb.com Maybe it's fixable if you work on it.

The colors of the example are messed up, due to laziness on my part.
