CSS/Image Drop Shadow & Expansion

[daysable]

Hi guys,

I need major help with this page I'm working on.
I want to put a drop shadow around the container div, but I don't want to use CSS because as far as I know there hasn't been a CSS dropshadow that will show in IE 6, 7, 8. And I need this drop shadow to work in all browsers. So when you look at my code you will see that I attempted to create a drop shadow around the div with background images.

I also want to make this grid as dynamic as possible, meaning, if I decide to type in 3 bullets in the 3rd row I don't want to have to resize each div, I just want it to expand as I go.
Also, right now there are 4 rows in this grid, at some point I'd like to easily add a 4th or maybe a 5th. What is the best way to do this?

Any help with this would be great.

Here is my current code (see what a mess it is?). I don't know why everything isn't falling into place.

Thanks so much.
