Add CSS box shadow around the whole DIV

Question

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

The CSS code would be   box-shadow  0 0 10px 5px white    That will shadow the entire DIV no matter its shape

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
