I have successfully created a hover effect for my navigation bar and the list inside it. However, I am facing an issue where the box shadow effect is only appearing in a small area when hovered (see image below).
My goal is to extend the shadow effect to cover the entire navbar around the hovered area. I am seeking guidance on where to properly place my code to achieve this desired result. Any help would be greatly appreciated :)
Here is the HTML code:
<nav>
<div class="nav-wrapper">
<ul>
<li><a href="">Home</a></li>
<li><a href="">Projects</a></li>
</ul>
</div>
</nav>
And here is the CSS code:
html, body {
margin: 0;
padding: 0;
height: 100%;
background-color:white;
font-family: 'Open Sans', sans-serif;
}
.nav-wrapper {
margin: 0 auto;
margin-top: 50px;
width: 60%;
padding-top: 5px;
padding-bottom: 5px;
color:#787878;
box-shadow: 2px 2px 3px #BDBDBD;
border-radius: 5px;
background: #f9f9f9; /* Old browsers */
background: -moz-linear-gradient(top, #f9f9f9 0%, #ededed 100%); /* FF3.6+ */
background: -webkit-gradient(linear, left top, left bottom, color-stop(0%,#f9f9f9), color-stop(100%,#ededed)); /* Chrome,Safari4+ */
background: -webkit-linear-gradient(top, #f9f9f9 0%,#ededed 100%); /* Chrome10+,Safari5.1+ */
background: -o-linear-gradient(top, #f9f9f9 0%,#ededed 100%); /* Opera 11.10+ */
background: -ms-linear-gradient(top, #f9f9f9 0%,#ededed 100%); /* IE10+ */
background: linear-gradient(to bottom, #f9f9f9 0%,#ededed 100%); /* W3C */
filter: progid:DXImageTransform.Microsoft.gradient( startColorstr='#f9f9f9', endColorstr='#ededed',GradientType=0 ); /* IE6-9 */
}
ul {
list-style: none;
}
li {
display: inline;
padding: 0 15px;
}
li:hover {
box-shadow: 2px 2px 3px #BDBDBD inset;
}
a {
text-decoration: none;
color:#787878;
}
