Question: My Box Shadow is not showing in IE7 and IE8. 

```
#bodyContainer{
 background: url(../images/site_bg.png)  repeat ;
 margin: 0px auto;
    width:1000px;
    float:left;
    position:relative;
    border: 1px solid #EEEEEE;
    /*background:#FFFFFF;*/
     box-shadow: 0 0 5px 0 #000000;

}

```

Answer: 
You have to use the non-standard IE filter property. See [this article](http://hedgerwow.appspot.com/demo/shadow)
Accoding to `Box-shadow`'s [MDN compatibility table](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/CSS/box-shadow#Browser_compatibility), Box-shadow doesn't support in IE7 and IE8.

Check the same link (Notes section) for more info on alternative properties like [Dropshadow](http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms532985%28VS.85,loband%29.aspx) and [shadow](http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms533086%28VS.85,loband%29.aspx) properties.

**Syntax**:

```
filter:progid:DXImageTransform.Microsoft.DropShadow(sProperties)

```

```
filter:progid:DXImageTransform.Microsoft.Shadow(sProperties)
