How box-shadow looks in HTML

There are different parameters you must set in CSS box-shadow property. These are the following. Optional parameters are showed in parenthesis.

box-shadow: (inset) h-offset v-offset (blur) (spread) color;

Inset: "inset" is an optional parameter works like a flag and it changes the shadow from outer to inner. By default, shadow is outset, and you don't need to write anything to set it in CSS. Just use "inset" to change its default position.
Horizontal Offset: Horizontal offset or h-offset is the distance of shadow from center in x-axis. It's a required parameter. It may be either negative or positive. Negative values put the shadow to the left of the box, while positive put the shadow to the right.
Vertical Offset: Vertical offset or v-offset is the distance of shadow from center in y-axis. It's a required parameter. It may be either negative or positive. Negative values put the shadow above the box, while positive values put the shadow below.
Blur: Blur is the amount of blur that will be applied to shadow. It has to be zero or positive. Blur is an optional parameter. If you don't set it, it will be calculated as zero.
Spread: Spread is the radius of the shadow spread that will be subtracted or added to shadow itself. If its value is negative, shadow will be smaller, vice versa. Spread is an optional parameter. If you don't set it, it will be calculated as zero.
Color: It determines the color of the shadow. It's a required parameter.
