11,717 Pointscan you achieve a box shadow on all four sides of an element?
Would that be a function of the border rule?

231,236 PointsYou can easily create a shadow on all sides with the spread property.
I'm not sure what "border rule" you are referring to, but you can extend a box shadow on all sides by keeping the offset values at 0 and giving a positive value to the spread, which is the optional 4th value.
Example:
.surround-shadow {
box-shadow: 0 0 0 20px;
}
A neat interactive tool you might enjoy for experimenting with box shadows can be found here: CSSmatic.
