I have the SolpartMenu looking pretty good and doing what I want but I can't get rid of the drop shadow in IE!  I have read the manual and tried everything that I can think of to get rid of it. Here is what I have in my XML file in reference to it.

menueffectsshadowcolor
transparent

menueffectsmouseoverdisplay
none

menueffectsstyle
filter:progid:DXImageTransform.Microsoft.Sahdow(color='Transparent', Direction=0, Strength=0);

menueffectsshadowstrength
0

menueffectsmenutransition
none

menueffectsshadowdirection
None

What am I doing wrong? Is there something I am missing?

Thanks for finding the typo. I was happy to think that the problem was so simple! But unfortunately it didn't fix it.  As a matter of fact, I tried playing with the settings in that line, and it didn't seem to affect the shadow at all. The only thing that seemed to work somewhat was to change the 'menueffectsshadowstrength' to a negative number. I still have a very thin grey line around the drop down menu however.

No, the site isn't live yet. It will be a couple of weeks and I can send a link then.
