Hello, ive tried to make a 3d looking button, but know when i hover over the button, and moves down. all the divs under it, moves along with it. is there any fix for this?

To fix this, you can instead animate the box-shadow property, which won't affect elements around it because it's not technically taking up space as part of the element.
Here's a modified version of your fiddle showing you how it won't move.

Courses Plus Student 5,887 PointsOh i see, thanks for sorting that out!
One question, why did you put the universal selector with box-sizing property in it? What does it do?
