How to Set a Box-Shadow on One Side of the Element

To set a box-shadow on one side of the element, use the box-shadow property. This property has four length parameters and a color.

Using the box-shadow property follow this syntax:

box-shadow: h-offset v-offset blur spread color;

h-offset sets the shadow horizontally. A positive value sets the right shadow, and a negative value sets the left one.

v-shadow sets the shadow vertically. A positive value sets the shadow below the box, and a negative value sets the shadow above the box.

blur is an optional attribute, which blurs the box-shadow.

spread sets the shadow size.

color is an optional attribute that sets the shadow color.

Let’s start by creating a shadow on the left side of the element. Follow the steps below.

Create HTML

html> html> head> title>Title of the document title> head> body> h1>W3Docs h1> body> html>

Add CSS

• Style the element using the text-align, background, padding-top, color, width and height properties.
• Add the box-shadow property following the syntax mentioned above.

h1 < text-align: center; background: #c4c4c4; padding-top: 50px; color: #000000; width: 400px; height: 120px; box-shadow: -8px 0px 8px #000000; >

Example of adding a box-shadow on the left side of the element:

html> html> head> title>Title of the document title> style> h1 < text-align: center; background: #c4c4c4; padding-top: 50px; color: #000000; width: 400px; height: 120px; box-shadow: -8px 0px 8px #000000; > style> head> body> h1>W3Docs h1> body> html>

Result

Example of adding a box-shadow on the bottom of the element:

html> html> head> title>Title of the document title> style> h1 < text-align: center; background: #c4c4c4; padding-top: 50px; color: #000000; width: 400px; height: 120px; box-shadow: 0 10px 10px #000000; > style> head> body> h1>W3Docs h1> body> html>

When adding a box-shadow only on one side of an element, the focus must be on the last value (the spread radius). It decreases the overall size of the box-shadow, both horizontally and vertically.

Now, we’ll show another example where we use the «inset» value to create a shadow inside the box as the shadow is placed outside the box by default.

Example of adding a box-shadow inside the element:

html> html> head> title>Title of the document title> style> h1 < text-align: center; background: #c4c4c4; padding-top: 50px; color: #000000; width: 400px; height: 120px; box-shadow: 0px 10px 20px #000000 inset; > style> head> body> h1>W3Docs h1> body> html>

In our last example, we use both outside and inside shadows on one side of each presented element.

Example of adding outside and inside shadows:

html> html> head> title>Title of the document title> style> body < background: #ccc; padding: 20px; > .left < float: left; margin-left: 20px; > .box < width: 110px; height: 110px; background: #fff; color: #9e9e9e; margin: 0 auto; margin-bottom: 20px; text-align: center; line-height: 100px; > .shadow-bottom < box-shadow: 0 8px 10px -6px #000000; > .shadow-top < box-shadow: 0 -8px 10px -6px #000000; > .shadow-left < box-shadow: -8px 0 10px -6px #000000; > .shadow-right < box-shadow: 8px 0 10px -6px #000000; > .inner-shadow-bottom < box-shadow: inset 0 8px 10px -6px #000000; > .inner-shadow-top < box-shadow: inset 0 -8px 10px -6px #000000; > .inner-shadow-left < box-shadow: inset 8px 0 10px -6px #000000; > .inner-shadow-right < box-shadow: inset -8px 0 10px -6px #000000; > style> head> body> div class="left"> div class="shadow-bottom box">bottom div> div class="shadow-top box">top div> div class="shadow-left box">left div> div class="shadow-right box">right div> div> div class="left"> div class="inner-shadow-bottom box">top inset div> div class="inner-shadow-top box">bottom inset div> div class="inner-shadow-left box">left inset div> div class="inner-shadow-right box">right inset div> div> body> html>

no explanation because you obviously have no interest in why it works, just that it does 😉

Probably the author will never access this topic again, but I found out the right definition is made by two declarations, instead of 3:

box-shadow: 3px 5px 8px -1px rgba( 15, 15, 15, .8 ), -3px 5px 8px -1px rgba( 15, 15, 15, .8 ); 

It’s hard to explain, but if you define two primary colors you will see the reason in bottom shadow:

box-shadow: 3px 3px 8px -1px red, -3px 3px 8px -1px yellow; 

The presence of a non-zero integer as first value mixes the two colors, producing a new one.

The point is, defining three declarations, one of them will overlay one of the others (depending the arguments) and thus produce darker shadows.

The same is valid for vertical offset. If both them are the same (here represented by 5px), another overlay will happen, in the bottom shadow, if positive, or in the top shadow, if negative (which is not the case of the topic).

I hope it helps somebody else.

box-shadow

The box-shadow CSS property adds shadow effects around an element’s frame. You can set multiple effects separated by commas. A box shadow is described by X and Y offsets relative to the element, blur and spread radius, and color.

Try it

The box-shadow property enables you to cast a drop shadow from the frame of almost any element. If a border-radius is specified on the element with a box shadow, the box shadow takes on the same rounded corners. The z-ordering of multiple box shadows is the same as multiple text shadows (the first specified shadow is on top).

Box-shadow generator is an interactive tool allowing you to generate a box-shadow .

Syntax

/* Keyword values */ box-shadow: none; /* offset-x | offset-y | color */ box-shadow: 60px -16px teal; /* offset-x | offset-y | blur-radius | color */ box-shadow: 10px 5px 5px black; /* offset-x | offset-y | blur-radius | spread-radius | color */ box-shadow: 2px 2px 2px 1px rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.2); /* inset | offset-x | offset-y | color */ box-shadow: inset 5em 1em gold; /* Any number of shadows, separated by commas */ box-shadow: 3px 3px red, -1em 0 0.4em olive; /* Global values */ box-shadow: inherit; box-shadow: initial; box-shadow: revert; box-shadow: revert-layer; box-shadow: unset; 

Specify a single box-shadow using:

To specify multiple shadows, provide a comma-separated list of shadows.

Values

If not specified (default), the shadow is assumed to be a drop shadow (as if the box were raised above the content). The presence of the inset keyword changes the shadow to one inside the frame (as if the content was debossed inside the box). Inset shadows are drawn inside the border (even transparent ones), above the background, but below content.

If both and are set to 0 , the shadow is placed behind the element (and may generate a blur effect if and/or is set).

…for a long, straight shadow edge, this should create a color transition the length of the blur distance that is perpendicular to and centered on the shadow’s edge, and that ranges from the full shadow color at the radius endpoint inside the shadow to fully transparent at the endpoint outside it.

Interpolation

When animating shadows, such as when multiple shadow values on a box transition to new values on hover, the values are interpolated. Interpolation determines intermediate values of properties, such as the blur radius, spread radius, and color, as shadows transition. For each shadow in a list of shadows, the color, x, y, blur, and spread transition; the color as , and the other values as s.

In interpolating multiple shadows between two comma-separated lists of multiple box shadows, the shadows are paired, in order, with interpolation occurring between paired shadows. If the lists of shadows have different lengths, then the shorter list is padded at the end with shadows whose color is transparent , and X, Y, and blur are 0 , with the inset, or lack of inset, being set to match. If, in any pair of shadows, one has inset set and the other is does not, the entire shadow list is uninterpolated; the shadows will change to the new values without an animating effect.

Formal definition

Initial value	none
Applies to	all elements. It also applies to ::first-letter .
Inherited	no
Computed value	any length made absolute; any specified color computed; otherwise as specified
Animation type	a shadow list

Formal syntax

Examples

Setting three shadows

In this example, we include three shadows: an inset shadow, a regular drop shadow, and a 2px shadow that creates a border effect (we could have used an outline instead for that third shadow).

HTML

blockquote> q> You may shoot me with your words,br /> You may cut me with your eyes,br /> You may kill me with your hatefulness,br /> But still, like air, I'll rise. q> p>— Maya Angeloup> blockquote> 

CSS

blockquote  padding: 20px; box-shadow: inset 0 -3em 3em rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.1), 0 0 0 2px rgb(255, 255, 255), 0.3em 0.3em 1em rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.3); > 

Result

Setting zero for offset and blur

When the x-offset , y-offset , and blur are all zero, the box shadow will be a solid-colored outline of equal-size on all sides. The shadows are drawn back to front, so the first shadow sits on top of subsequent shadows. When the border-radius is set to 0, as is the default, the corners of the shadow will be, well, corners. Had we put in a border-radius of any other value, the corners would have been rounded.

We added a margin the size of the widest box-shadow to ensure the shadow doesn’t overlap adjacent elements or go beyond the border of the containing box. A box-shadow does not impact box model dimensions.
