8 Different Box Shadow Effects using CSS and HTML

Posted by Abhay Makadiya at 6/26/2013

Introduction:-

In this tutorial we are creating box shadow effects with using CSS. Drop shadows and inner shadows effects are generally apply using Photoshop or Corel Draw. But now we have CSS3 so, you don’t need design tools to add a drop shadow or an inner shadow effect to a box.

We are  using the box shadow property  which gives effect to box. You can creat multiple drop shadows by specifing values to box shadow property.The box-shadow property have 2-4 options, the required options are horizontal and vertical offsets, distance and colour are optional options.

Here I have provided whole code of the page with 8 different effects of box element.

Code In CSS/Html:-

<!doctype html>
<html lang="en-US">
<head>
   <meta charset="utf-8">

    <style type="text/css">
