Smoother, but more markup and CSS needed.

<div class="rela"> <a class="btn green btn1" href="index.html">Jack</a> <span class="shadow"></span> </div>

.rela {	display: block;	width: 96px;	height: 56px;	position: relative;	margin: 10px; } .btn {	display: block;	line-height: 56px;	text-align: center;	color: white;	font-family: Helvetica, Arial, Sans-Serif;	font-size: 20px;	text-decoration:none;	text-shadow: -1px -1px 1px #616161;	position: relative; } .shadow {	position: absolute;	top:5px;	left: 5px;	background: #666;	z-index: -1;	width: 100%;	height: 100%; }

$(".btn").hover(function(){	$(this).stop().animate({	top: "5",	left: "5"	}, 100 ); }, function(){	$(this).stop().animate({	top: 0,	left: 0	}, 100 ); });
