I want to make the navigation buttons on this website arckandi.org have a dropdown effect and I'm having a little trouble with how I have the style sheet set up. If anyone could help me or offer any tips I would be forever grateful.

Here is my header which includes the navigation bar:

<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN"
	"http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd">
 
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" xml:lang="en" lang="en">
<head>
	<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8"/>
 
	<title>Arc Kandiyohi County</title>
	<link rel="stylesheet" href="style.css" type="text/css" charset="utf-8" />
</head>
 
<body>
	<div id="wrapper">
		<div id="header">
			<h1><img src="images/newhead/whitebannerwpics_03.png" alt="Arc of Kandiyohi County" height="135" width="800" /></h1>
              			<div id="nav">
            <a href="index.cfm" class="rolloverh" title="Home"></a>
				<a href="about.cfm" class="rollovera" title="About"></a>
				<a href="services.cfm" class="rollovers" title="Services"></a>
				<a href="membership.cfm" class="rolloverm" title="Members"></a>
				<a href="events.cfm" class="rollovere" title="Events"></a>
				<a href="volunteer.cfm" class="rolloverv" title="Volunteers"></a>
				<a href="news.cfm" class="rollovern" title="News"></a>
				<a href="resources.cfm" class="rolloverr" title="Resourcess"></a>
                <a href="contact.cfm" class="rollovercu" title="Contact Us"></a>	<!--- end nav div ---></div>

and my style sheet:

Notice how each button has it's own background image, so I'm just having trouble figuring out how to add the dropdown feature do this. Thank you in advance! I am open to any suggestions/ideas.
