I have this class here and I using box-shadow which works fine, but it only shows the shadow on 2 sides, is there away to get the shadow on all four sides?
Thanks,
J
.contactBackground{
background-color:#FFF;
padding:20px;
box-shadow: 10px 10px 10px #000000;
}
If you set the offsets to zero, the shadow will be equal on all four sides.
.contactBackground{
background-color:#FFF;
padding:20px;
box-shadow: 0 0 10px #000000;
}
Box-Shadow
CSS3 box-shadow property has following attributes: (W3Schools)
box-shadow: h-shadow v-shadow blur spread color inset;
In your example you're offsetting shadow by 10px vertically and horizontally.
Like in other comments set first two values to 0px in order to have even shadow on all sides.
More on Shadows
The main prefix for shadow to support latest browsers is box-shadow.
There are 2 other ones that I recommend to use for older Mozilla and Webkit:
-moz-box-shadow
-webkit-box-shadow
Also, by using rgba instead of hex color value you can set the alpha/opacity of the shadow:
box-shadow: 0px 0px 20px 10px rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.3);
Remove the offset definitions, and use only the blur radius (the third argument):
.contactBackground{
background-color: #fff;
padding: 20px;
box-shadow: 0 0 10px #000;
}
Try: box-shadow: 0 0 10px 10px #000000;
you need to specify box-shadow: 10px 10px 10px 10px BLACK;
Right, Bottom, Left, Top
or you could say box-shadow-top: 10px BLACK; etc

In CSS I know you able to do a four sided box-shadow. Just wondering whether you are able to select two sides. (Just the left side and the right side). I know there is a question already on this but it didn't provide any useful information.
Thanks
You can use multiple box-shadows to achieve the effect
div{
width:100px;
height:80px;
margin:50px;
background:orange;
box-shadow:-50px 0px 5px 0px grey,50px 0px 5px 0px grey;
}
<div></div>
Not sure what you mean by a four sided or a two sided box shadow. A box shadow consists of a color, x offset, y offset, blur radius and a spread radius.
So box-shadow:red 2px 2px 0px 0px; would only show a red shadow on 2 sides of the element.
Also you can use multiple box shadows at once by seperating them with a comma like this.
div {
height:100px;
width:100px;
margin:100px;
box-shadow:red 0px 2px 0px, blue 2px 0px 0px, green -2px 0px 0px, yellow 0px -2px 0px;
}
<div></div>
Hope this helps.
you can just add this class to achieve your goal-
.shadow-left-right {
box-shadow: -5px 0 5px -5px #333,
5px 0 5px -5px #333;
}
Got a problem with the css shadows.
I can't figure out how to get rid of the top shadow here: http://i.imgur.com/5FX62Fx.png
What I got:
box-shadow: 0 -3px 4px -6px #777, 0 3px 4px 6px #ccc;
How do I do that? I want it to be on the left, right and bottom side.
try this is:
div
{
width:300px;
height:100px;
background-color:white;
box-shadow:0px 0px 5px #888888;
}
try like so:
box-shadow: 3px 3px 3px #777, -3px 3px 3px #777;
(adjust hex colours to match your needs)
Example - http://jsbin.com/ebemol/1
Looks like you need to position the vertical shadow property:
box-shadow: 0 5px 4px -6px #777
-3px would indicates that the shadow starts -3px from where the shadow would start normally, I have changed it to an arbitrary value, 5px so it starts further down.
http://jsfiddle.net/9Dgtj/
You can see from the JS Fiddle I have provided that adjusting the vertical shadow (5px) moves the shadow down.
Here's my source image:

Any thoughts on how to accomplish this with only CSS3? Notice the slight bleed upwards into the element.
Update: I've removed the vendor prefixes, since almost every browser that supports these properties do not need them. Dropping them is considered a best practice at this point.
See Caniuse page for border-radius and box-shadow.
the best (and only) way to do this is to use multiple box-shadows:
element {
box-shadow: rgba(0,0,0,0.2) 0px 2px 3px, inset rgba(0,0,0,0.2) 0px -1px 2px;
border-radius: 20px;
}
box-shadow works like this:
box-shadow: [direction (inset)] [color] [Horizontal Distance] [Vertical Distance] [size];
border-radius works like this:
border-radius: [size];
/*or*/
border-radius: [topleft/bottomright size] [topright/bottomleft size];
/*or*/
border-radius: [topleft] [topright] [bottomright] [bottomleft];
you can specify the Height an length of the curve like this:
border-radius: [tl-width] [tr-width] [br-width] [bl-width] / [tl-height] [tr-height] [br-height] [bl-height];
It's just using two box shadows, one inset and the other outset, i.e:
.box {
width: 100px;
height: 100px;
box-shadow: 0 3px 6px rgba(0,0,0,0.3), inset 0 -3px 3px rgba(0,0,0,0.1);
border: solid #ccc 1px;
border-radius: 10px;
margin: 50px 0 0 50px;
}
See it here: http://jsfiddle.net/WYLJv/
This is actually done with two CSS3 box-shadows.
CSS:
#fuzz
{
height: 100px;
width: 100px;
border-radius: 5px;
border: 1px solid #333;
box-shadow: 0px 0px 5px #333, inset 0px 0px 2px #333;
}
You can see it in action when i get back to real computer to edit the fiddle :-) (using my tablet now)
Obviously change the colors to your taste :)
Look at css3 property border-radius. It has options for x and y offset color and the blur radius. In your case a greyish color no offset and blur if 4px ought to work.
I'm a bit late but, yes, use border radius and box-shadow(s) and you should be good to go.
.block {
border-radius:6px;
box-shadow: inset 0px 0px 2px 2px #aaa, 3px 3px 5px 0px #eee;
}
Try adding a border-radius and a text-shadow in your css.
.box {
border-radius:20px;
text-shadow:2px 2px black;
}
Hope this helps.
You can probably just get away with setting the border to a light colour and outline to a darker colour, then just set the border-radius. Note I haven't tested this, and if memory serves the outline does not curve with border-radius. Also note that border-radius requires several attributes to be set to become cross-browser compatible. Refer to http://perishablepress.com/press/2008/11/24/perfect-rounded-corners-with-css/ for more info.
If this fails, you could always use an inner-div, which you set to position absolute, left 0, right 0, top 0 and bottom 0 and then use that as either the inner or outer border. Setting the border-radius will definitely work then.

Is it possible to have the shadow surround the entire DIV?
-moz-box-shadow: 3px 3px 3px #ccc;
-webkit-box-shadow: 3px 3px 3px #ccc;
box-shadow: 3px 3px 3px #ccc;
I know the order of attributes goes:
Horizontal offset
Vertical offset
Blur radius
Color
But I wonder if it's possible to make the shadow go all around it instead of showing up only on one edge or side.
You're offsetting the shadow, so to get it to uniformly surround the box, don't offset it:
-moz-box-shadow: 0 0 3px #ccc;
-webkit-box-shadow: 0 0 3px #ccc;
box-shadow: 0 0 3px #ccc;
Yes, don't offset vertically or horizontally, and use a relatively large blur radius: fiddle
Also, you can use multiple box-shadows if you separate them with a comma. This will allow you to fine-tune where they blur and how much they extend. The example I provide is indistinguishable from a large outline, but it can be fine-tuned significantly more: fiddle
You missed the last and most relevant property of box-shadow, which is spread-distance. You can specify a value for how much the shadow expands or contracts (makes my second example obsolete): fiddle
The full property list is:
box-shadow: [horizontal-offset] [vertical-offset] [blur-radius] [spread-distance] [color] inset?
But even better, read through the spec.
Just use the below code. It will shadow surround the entire DIV
-webkit-box-shadow: -1px 1px 5px 9px rgba(0,0,0,0.75);
-moz-box-shadow: -1px 1px 5px 9px rgba(0,0,0,0.75);
box-shadow: -1px 1px 5px 9px rgba(0,0,0,0.75);
Hope this will work
The CSS code would be:
box-shadow: 0 0 10px 5px white;
That will shadow the entire DIV no matter its shape!
Use this below code
border:2px soild #eee;
margin: 15px 15px;
-webkit-box-shadow: 2px 3px 8px #eee;
-moz-box-shadow: 2px 3px 8px #eee;
box-shadow: 2px 3px 8px #eee;
Explanation:-
box-shadow requires you to set the horizontal & vertical offsets, you can then optionally set the blur and colour, you can also choose to have the shadow inset instead of the default outset. Colour can be defined as hex or rgba.
box-shadow : inset/outset h-offset v-offset blur spread color;
Explanation of the values...
inset/outset -- whether the shadow is inside or outside the box. If not specified it will default to outset.
h-offset -- the horizontal offset of the shadow (required value)
v-offset -- the vertical offset of the shadow (required value)
blur -- as it says, the blur of the shadow
spread -- moves the shadow away from the box equally on all sides. A positive value causes the shadow to expand, negative causes it to contract. Though this value isn't often used, it is useful with multiple shadows.
color -- as it says, the color of the shadow
Usage
box-shadow:2px 3px 8px #eee; a gray shadow with a horizontal outset of 2px, vertical of 3px and a blur of 8px
I have an button just as have Ask Question on SO and here is the CSS for it:
.rfs .grey_btn{
float: right;
margin: 15px 5px;
}
Now I have to add border shadow to it and I have tried border-radius and box-shadow but it does not give me proper result.
Also other question is that I have a label or box say and now I want to increase size of that box so that I have move the text inside that box to right, currently if I move it to right than it reaches the end limit of box and so I want to increase the size of box so that I can push text more towards right.
Hope I have made my question clear. Any guidance would be highly appreciated.
Thanks.
The box-shadow property is not yet widely supported, but can be implemented like:
img {
-webkit-box-shadow: 5px 5px 10px #666;
-moz-box-shadow: 5px 5px 10px #666;
box-shadow: 5px 5px 10px #666;
}
Not sure what you're asking about the label/box?
Box-Shadows only work in some modern browsers as they are CSS3 properties. How to use them correctly, you can see here: http://www.css3.info/preview/box-shadow/
You could use a background image for the shadow effect or you could use a second tag (like a span) with a border, but that's a very uggly solution.
For you label question: have you tried to add a "pagging-left" which will move your text to the right side and increases the width of the label?
EDIT: As CSS3 is not final, every browser has his own pseudo-css3-property. Adding a shadow and extra width and space to the SO button you might use these CSS properties in modern browsers:
.nav a {
-khtml-box-shadow: 10px 10px 5px #888888;
-webkit-box-shadow: 10px 10px 5px #888888;
-moz-box-shadow: 10px 10px 5px #888888;
box-shadow: 10px 10px 5px #888888;
padding-left: 35px;
}
EDIT: Added the CSS for Safari and KHTML browsers. That would result in something like this:
.rfs .grey_btn
{
-webkit-box-shadow:rgba(0,0,0,0.7) 0px 5px 15px, inset rgba(0,0,0,0.15) 0px -10px 20px;
-khtml-box-shadow:rgba(0,0,0,0.7) 0px 5px 15px, inset rgba(0,0,0,0.15) 0px -10px 20px;
-moz-box-shadow:rgba(0,0,0,0.7) 0px 5px 15px, inset rgba(0,0,0,0.15) 0px -10px 20px;
-o-box-shadow:rgba(0,0,0,0.7) 0px 5px 15px, inset rgba(0,0,0,0.15) 0px -10px 20px;
box-shadow:rgba(0,0,0,0.7) 0px 5px 15px, inset rgba(0,0,0,0.15) 0px -10px 20px;
}
