CSS Syntax
drop-shadow(h-shadow v-shadow blur spread color)
| Value | Description |
|---|---|
| h-shadow | Required. Specifies a pixel value for the horizontal shadow. Negative values place the shadow to the left of the image |
| v-shadow | Required. Specifies a pixel value for the vertical shadow. Negative values place the shadow above the image |
| blur | Optional. Adds a blur effect to the shadow, in pixels. A larger value will create more blur (the shadow becomes bigger and lighter). Negative values are not allowed. If no value is specified, 0 is used (the shadow's edge is sharp) |
| spread | Optional. Must be in pixels. Positive values will cause the shadow to expand and grow bigger, and negative values will cause the shadow to shrink. If not specified, it will be 0 (the shadow will be the same size as the element) |
| color | Optional. Adds a color to the shadow. If not specified, the color depends on the browser (often black) |
