Your CSS seems to be valid,

box-shadow

syntax is correct. The problem is that you have no heights or widths set on the elements. Try adding

width: 100px

and

height: 100px

to the

.shadow

. Also, have you defined an element with the

shadow

class? For example,

<div class="shadow"></div>

.

If the shadow class was meant to style the body element, then you do it like this:

body.shadow

not

body .shadow

though this wouldnt make any sense, since there is only 1 body tag in an HTML file, so just copy the content of .shadow's style inside the body's style

body{
    background-color:...;
    box-shadow: ...;
}

/* or */

body{
    background-color:...;
}

.shadow{
    box-shadow: ...;
}

if you want to style all the elements that have the .shadow class, then you shouldnt use this:

body .shadow{
    /* your style*/
}

but this:

.shadow{
    /* your style*/
}

Does this not work?

body{
    background: #e0e0e0;
    box-shadow:0 0 15px #000 inset;
}

What your code posted is doing is lookin for an element with

.shadow

applied that is nested inside the body tags.

(I omitted vendor prefixes from my example, make sure to include them)

No,

body .shadow

definitely works.

Why are you doing

body.shadow

and not just

.shadow

? Less selectors is better.

That's uh, still one selector. Has the OP actually any content in body?
