Can CSS3 box-shadow:inset do only one or two sides? like border-top?

Question

I\'m wondering about the support for side specific inner shadows in css3.

I know this works great on supported browsers.

div { box-shadow:inset 0px 1px 5         


        

Answer 1

using :before and after elements with regular shadows cut of by overflow:hidden on the parent box like in this example: http://dabblet.com/gist/2585782

CSS

/**
 * Top and Bottom inset shadow
 */


#element{
  background-color: #E3F2F7;
  height: 55px;
  position: relative; /* to position pseudo absolute*/
  overflow: hidden; /* to cut of overflow shadow*/
  margin-top: 200px;    
}

#element:before , #element:after{
  content: "\0020";
  display: block;
  position: absolute;
  width: 100%;
  height: 1px; /* when 0 no shadow is displayed*/
  box-shadow: #696c5c 0 0 8px 0;
}

#element:before { top: -1px} /* because of height: 1*/
#element:after { bottom: -1px}  /* because of height: 1*/
