It's possible that the page that you've inserted menu in doesn't use DOCTYPE and is automatically switching to Internet Explorer 6 mode, which is why there are no shadows. Read this for more info: http://www.easymenumaker.com/support-answer.php?tid=116

Thanks for reply
I found why it does not function correctly in IE9

I ve a table tag around in my html code like so :

<table>
< My menu tags with css classes >
</table>

If I remove table tag the shadow appear in IE9
But I would like to use my table tag around my menu
Any solutions ??

Are you using just <table> or complete proper <table><tr><td>?

That site has the DOCTYPE problem that I mentioned.

Nonetheless, after some research it turns out that there is IE9 bug that indeed removes shadows from elements inside table cells - http://www.west-wind.com/weblog/posts/2 ... able-Cells

The solution is simple, but unfortunately you'll need to edit CSS file manually - find the line with box-shadow:... and add another attribute after it like this:

{
box-shadow: .....;
border-collapse: separate;
}

We'll add a fix to do this automatically in one of the next updates.
