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: 
Use [CSS3 PIE](http://css3pie.com/), which emulates [some CSS3 properties](http://css3pie.com/documentation/supported-css3-features/) in older versions of IE.

It supports `box-shadow` ([except for](https://github.com/lojjic/PIE/issues/3) the `inset` keyword).

and 

There are article about [CSS3 Box Shadow in Internet Explorer](http://placenamehere.com/article/384/css3boxshadowininternetexplorerblurshadow/) and [Box-shadow](http://www.css3.info/preview/box-shadow/).

Hope this helps

also you can use 

```
style="FILTER: DropShadow(Color=#0066cc, OffX=5, OffY=-3, Positive=1);width:300px;font-size:20pt;"

style="filter: progid:DXImageTransform.Microsoft.dropShadow (OffX='-2', OffY='-2', Color='#c0c0c0', Positive='true')"

```
box-shadow is a feature of CSS3
hence it is not supported below ie9
