A little complex and kludgy (neat article, though; I'll keep it on file).

Thanks, good idea. I've set the image not to display on pages with more
than one content DIV.

Thanks! I'm reluctant to widen the image, though, for two reasons:
1) The source image doesn't have any more usable horizontal space; so
I'd have to just blow up the current version; I'd lose (more) detail
(though I can avoid pixellation, so it's not a major concern).
2) The file size is already big enough to cause several-second hangs
(only the first time the site's visted, but still) for people using IE
on dialup.

I can't do it for individual menu items (the transparency property is
set for the menu as a whole; I'm not sure the elements are totally
contiguous, so I can't just set them all individually -- anyway, the
dropdowns are children of the main links). Too bad transparency values
of more than 1.0 aren't supported =) The whole menu lights up now,
though, a little bit.
