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

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;
}
