What the best way to create a shadow effect around a table, I’ve seen this on [http://www.shauninman.com/](http://www.shauninman.com/) I read other threads but is this done with a drop shadow pixel that runs down the side?? or is a Div filled w/ balck and low alpha, but how does the fade spread out?

If you could also post some links that you have found to be helpful, that would be great.
