While I was coding the Notepad theme, I've learned some new CSS3 features and now I would like to share it with you. View the demo to see a Mac-like multi-level dropdown menu that I've created using border-radius, box-shadow, and text-shadow. It renders perfect on Firefox, Safari and Chrome. The dropdown also works on non-CSS3 compitable browsers such as IE7+, but the rounded corners and shadow will not be rendered.
Preview
The image below shows how the menu will look if CSS3 is not supported.
One Gradient Image is Used
A white-transparent image is used to achieve the gradient effect. Because the new CSS3 gradient feature is not supported by all browsers yet, it is safer to use a gradient background image.
The instensitiy of the gradient can be changed by shifting the background image up or down. Also, the gradient color can be easily adjusted by changing the background color.
CSS Code
I'm not going to explain the CSS line by line. The images below explain the key points on how this dropdown is coded.
Update Apr 13 2010: Pure CSS Dropdown (No Image Used)
The following demo used CSS gradient and IE gradient filter instead of the gradient image. It works for Webkit browsers, Firefox 3.6+, and IE.
This is wonderful, I’ll give it a shot, Thanks :)

Thdnks for helping me !!
you can put css like link version. Just save css code like css document and upload him to your site file manager and add this:
and that is. saving more space than put him like html code.
you are using a gradient.png image for background?
Write the full path in Css:
background-image:url(images/gradient.png); background-repeat:no;
