CSS Box Shadow - Top and Bottom Only [duplicate]

I cannot find any examples of how to do this, but how can I add a box shadow only to the top and bottom of an element?

As Kristian has pointed out, good control over z-values will often solve your problems.

If that does not work you can take a look at CSS Box Shadow Bottom Only on using overflow hidden to hide excess shadow.

I would also have in mind that the box-shadow property can accept a comma-separated list of shadows like this:

box-shadow: 0px 10px 5px #888, 0px -10px 5px #888;

This will give you some control over the "amount" of shadow in each direction.

Have a look at http://www.css3.info/preview/box-shadow/ for more information about box-shadow.

Hope this was what you were looking for!

After some experimentation I found that a fourth value in the line controls the spread (at least in FF 10). I opposed the vertical offsets and gave them a negative spread.

Here's the working pen: http://codepen.io/gillytech/pen/dlbsx

<html>
<head>
<style type="text/css">

#test {
    width: 500px;
    border: 1px  #CCC solid;
    height: 200px;

    box-shadow: 
        inset 0px 11px 8px -10px #CCC,
        inset 0px -11px 8px -10px #CCC; 
}
</style>
</head>
<body>
    <div id="test"></div>
</body>
</html>

This works perfectly for me!
