To use box-shadow in Internet Explorer 9 or later, you must set border-collapse to separate.

Since version 5.5, Internet Explorer supports Microsoft's DropShadow and Shadow Filter. You can use this proprietary extension to cast a drop shadow (though the syntax and the effect are different from CSS3)
