      box-shadow

      The box-shadow property of CSS is useful in adding a shadow effect around an element. One or more shadow effects can be added, separated by commas.
      The box shadow is described by X and Y offsets relative to the element, blur, spread radius and color.

      Possible Values

      • inset:
      • Shadow is assumed to be a drop shadow, if no value is specified.
      • If inset is used, the shadow is drawn inside the border, above the background, but below content.
      • <offset-x>: Specifies the horizontal distance in <length> terms. Negative value positions the shadow to the left of element.
      • <offset-y>: Specifies the vertical distance in <length> terms. Negative value positions the shadow above the element.
      • <blur-radius>:
      • Sets the radius for the blur effect. Third <length> value.
      • Larger the value, bigger is the blur.
      • Negative values are not allowed.
      • In absence of a value, it is 0, which makes the edges of shadow sharp.
      • <spread-radius>:
      • Sets the size of the shadow. Fourth <length> value.
      • Positive values make the shadow to grow bigger.
      • Negative values make the shadow to shrink.
      • In absence of a value, it is 0, which makes the shadow of size same as the element.
      • <color>: Color values for possible keywords and color notations, such as, color name, hex value, rgb, etc.

      Applies to

      All the HTML elements.
