Frequently Asked Questions
- What is box-shadow in CSS?
- box-shadow is a CSS property that adds shadow effects around an element's frame. You can specify horizontal and vertical offsets, blur radius, spread radius, color, and whether the shadow is inset (inner) or outset (outer).
- What's the difference between blur and spread?
- Blur radius controls how soft/blurry the shadow edges are. Spread radius makes the shadow larger (positive) or smaller (negative) before applying blur. Use spread to make shadows more prominent.
- Can I add multiple shadows to one element?
- Yes! In CSS, separate multiple box-shadow values with commas: box-shadow: 0 2px 4px rgba(0,0,0,0.1), 0 8px 16px rgba(0,0,0,0.1); This creates layered shadow effects.
- What does inset do?
- The inset keyword changes the shadow from an outer shadow (default) to an inner shadow. This makes it look like the element is pressed into the page rather than floating above it.
- Why use RGBA for shadow colors?
- RGBA (Red, Green, Blue, Alpha) allows you to control opacity directly in the color value. This is perfect for shadows because you can adjust transparency without changing the shadow color.
