Box Shadow on table row not appearing on certain browsers

Question

CSS box-shadow on table rows - tr - doesn\'t seem to be working consistently across browsers. On some browsers the shadow is displayed; on others, there is no s

Answer 1

Use transform scale(1,1) property with box-shadow it will solve the problem.

tr:hover {
  transform: scale(1);
  -webkit-transform: scale(1);
  -moz-transform: scale(1);
  box-shadow: 0px 0px 5px rgba(0,0,0,0.3);
  -webkit-box-shadow: 0px 0px 5px rgba(0,0,0,0.3);
  -moz-box-shadow: 0px 0px 5px rgba(0,0,0,0.3);
}

I had the same issue. I was trying to highlight an entire row when the mouse was over it. Below is the css code for it:

tr:hover {
    outline: none;
    -webkit-box-shadow: inset 0 0 10px #337AB7;
    box-shadow: inset 0 0 10px #337AB7;
}

It works fine on Mozilla Firefox (38.0.1) and Internet Explorer (11.0.9600.17801), both on Windows 7. However, did not work on Chrome (43.0.2357.81).

Therefore, I had to workaround and I did a mix of the answers of Sviatoslav Zalishchuk and David Winiecki. As an result I got:

@media screen and (-webkit-min-device-pixel-ratio:0) {
    tr:hover td:first-child {
       box-shadow: inset 0px 11px 8px -10px #337AB7, 
                   inset 0px -11px 8px -10px #337AB7, 
                   inset 11px 0px 8px -10px #337AB7;
    }

    tr:hover td {
       box-shadow: inset 0px 11px 8px -10px #337AB7, 
                   inset 0px -11px 8px -10px #337AB7;
    }

    tr:hover td:last-child {
       box-shadow: inset 0px 11px 8px -10px #337AB7, 
                   inset 0px -11px 8px -10px #337AB7, 
                   inset -11px 0px 8px -10px #337AB7;
    }
}

tbody > tr:hover {
    outline: none;
    -webkit-box-shadow: inset 0 0 10px #337AB7;
    box-shadow: inset 0 0 10px #337AB7;
}

That works fine and it does not break the column width of the table and still working on Mozilla and Explorer.

Below there is a full example:

table {
  box-sizing: border-box;
  border-collapse: collapse;
}
td,
th {
  padding-left: 10px;
  padding-right: 10px;
  border: 1px solid #ffffdffffd;
  font: 14px;
  text-align: left;
}

/*To work only on Chrome and Safari*/
@media screen and (-webkit-min-device-pixel-ratio:0) {
  tr:hover td:first-child {
    box-shadow: inset 0px 11px 8px -10px #337AB7, 
      inset 0px -11px 8px -10px #337AB7, 
      inset 11px 0px 8px -10px #337AB7;
  }

  tr:hover td {
    box-shadow: inset 0px 11px 8px -10px #337AB7, 
      inset 0px -11px 8px -10px #337AB7;
  }

  tr:hover td:last-child {
    box-shadow: inset 0px 11px 8px -10px #337AB7, 
      inset 0px -11px 8px -10px #337AB7, 
      inset -11px 0px 8px -10px #337AB7;
  }
}

/*To work on the others browsers*/
tbody > tr:hover {
  outline: none;
  -webkit-box-shadow: inset 0 0 10px #337AB7;
  box-shadow: inset 0 0 10px #337AB7;
}

<table>
  <thead>
    <tr>
      <th>Name</th>
      <th>Born</th>
      <th>City</th>      
    </tr>
  </thead>
  <tbody>
    <tr>
      <td>David Gilmour</td>
      <td>6 March 1946</td>
      <td>Cambridge, England</td> 
	</tr>
    <tr>
      <td>Roger Waters</td>
      <td>6 September 1943</td>
      <td>Surrey, England</td>		
    </tr>
    <tr>
      <td>Nick Mason</td>
      <td>27 January 1944</td>
      <td>Birmingham, England</td>
    </tr>
    <tr>
      <td>Richard Wright</td>
      <td>28 July 1943</td>
      <td>London, England</td>
    </tr>
  </tbody>
</table>

Answer 3

I wanted a box-shadow on the left side of the row when hovered:

I fixed it simply by setting the box-shadow on the first cell in the row. Like this:

tr:hover                { background: #EEF0F3; cursor: pointer; }
tr:hover td:first-child { box-shadow: inset 2px 0 0 0 #323335; }

I've tried it in Firefox, Chrome, and IE9. Seems to work fine.

If you want a 1px wide border around the whole row you could do something like:

tr:hover td             { box-shadow: 0 1px 0 0 black, 0 -1px 0 0 black; }
tr:hover td:first-child { box-shadow: 0 -1px 0 0 black, -1px 0 0 0 black, 0 1px 0 0 black; }
tr:hover td:last-child  { box-shadow: 0 -1px 0 0 black, 1px 0 0 0 black, 0 1px 0 0 black; }
