How to create italic box in css? - css

How to create italic box in css like this
my code is
.ml {
list-style-type: none;
margin: 0;
padding: 0;
}
.ml li {
display: inline-block;
border: solid 1px #000;
font-style: italic;
padding: 5px 10px;
}
.ml li.active,
.ml li:hover {
background: #000;
color: #ffffff
}
<ul class="ml">
<li class="active">day</li>
<li>week</li>
<li>month</li>
<li>year</li>
</ul>

Just need to add skew property to your CSS
.ml {
list-style-type: none;
margin: 0;
padding: 0;
}
.ml li {
display: inline-block;
border: solid 1px #000;
font-style: italic;
padding: 5px 10px;
transform: skewX(-20deg);
}
.ml li.active,
.ml li:hover {
background: #000;
color: #ffffff
}
<ul class="ml">
<li class="active">day</li>
<li>week</li>
<li>month</li>
<li>year</li>
</ul>

The problem with some of the answers I've seen thus far is that the text becomes over-skewed. The <li>s are already italic, but adding skew to the elements makes the effect over-pronounced.
We want the boxes skewed, but the text left alone.
To do this, I add a span to each li and unskew the text in the inverse direction.
/* Keep things organized and store skew value in CSS variable */
:root {
--skew-value: -20deg;
}
.ml {
list-style-type: none;
margin: 0;
padding: 0;
}
.ml li {
display: inline-block;
border: solid 1px #000;
font-style: italic;
padding: 5px 10px;
/* Skew the box */
transform: skew(var(--skew-value));
}
.ml li > span {
/* Unskew the text */
transform: skew(calc(var(--skew-value) * -1));
display: inline-block;
}
.ml li.active,
.ml li:hover {
background: #000;
color: #ffffff
}
<ul class="ml">
<li class="active"><span>day</span></li>
<li><span>week</span></li>
<li><span>month</span></li>
<li><span>year</span></li>
</ul>

Try this
div {
width: 300px;
height: 100px;
background-color: yellow;
border: 1px solid black;
margin:20px;
}
div#myDiv {
-ms-transform: skewX(-20deg); /* IE 9 */
-webkit-transform: skewX(-20deg); /* Safari */
transform: skewX(-20deg); /* Standard syntax */
}
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
</head>
<body>
<div id="myDiv">
This div element is skewed 20 degrees along the X-axis.
</div>
</body>
</html>

You can try this:
you can't show box font-style italic its needed transform and value skewX, because of the scewX rotate the box normally X-axis, and a box rotates this inner element or children auto rotate.
.ml{
list-style-type:none;margin:0;padding:0;}
.ml li {
display:inline-block;
border:solid 1px #000;
font-style:normal;
padding:5px 10px;
transform:skewX(-15deg);
text-transform: uppercase;
margin-right: 5px;
}
.ml li.active,
.ml li:hover {
background:#000; color:#ffffff
}
<ul class="ml">
<li class="active">day</li>
<li>week</li>
<li>month</li>
<li>year</li>
</ul>

Here what you need, You might need tot use one more wrapper to retain the border property
html
<ul class="ml">
<li class="active"><span>day</span></li>
<li><span>week</span></li>
<li><span>month</span></li>
<li><span>year</span></li>
</ul>

Try left floating the li tags to get the horizontal look:

Try this, I think this will help you

Is it possible to create the Firefox tab using CSS ? [duplicate]

This question already has answers here:
Add outward curving border to elements like this: ◝◟___◞◜
(3 answers)
Closed 7 years ago.
I can't find a non-ugly (no extra markup or fixed width) way to do draw the Firefox tab shape with CSS.
Even Mozilla use a png image.
if you use a basic <nav> or a list (<ul>) , you could achieve this from a single link(<a>) and pseudo-elements DEMO
nav,
ul {
padding: 0 0 0.25em;
}
li {
display: inline-block;
padding: 0 1.2em;
}
li a {
display: inline-block;
line-height: 2em;
color: white;
padding: 0 0.5em;
border-radius: 0 0 2em 2em/2.5em;
position: relative;
}
li a:before,
li a:after {
content: '';
position: absolute;
height: 2em;
width: 1.25em;
top: 0;
}
li a:before {
right: 100%;
border-radius: 0 1em 0 0/1.5em
}
li a:after {
left: 100%;
border-radius: 1em 0 0 0/1.5em
}
nav {
background: #0976B8;
}
li a:hover,
li a.active {
background: white;
color: #0976B8
}
li a:hover:before,
li a.active:before {
box-shadow: 0.5em -1em 0 white;
}
li a:hover:after,
li a.active:after {
box-shadow: -0.5em -1em 0 white;
}
<nav>
<ul>
<li>Home</li>
<li>About</li>
<li>Clients</li>
<li>Contact Us</li>
</ul>

tune the border-radius to the shape you look for
Codepen Demo
Okay, I have come up with an extremely messy solution, but, it only requires a single HTML element:
#charset "UTF-8";
body, html {
margin: 0;
width: 100%;
height: 100%;
background: #079FD9;
}
div {
background: white;
/*Note that if you change this color, make sure you change the background of the pseudo elements*/
display: inline-block;
padding: 10px;
padding-right: 20px;
/*These paddings are to make sure the pseudo elements do not overlap the text*/
padding-left: 20px;
border-radius: 0 0 10px 10px;
position: relative;
margin-left: 30px;
color: #079FD9;
font-family: open sans;
/*This is, of course, optional*/
font-size: 16pt;
}
div:before, div:after {
content: "•";
/*Very Hacky*/
font-family: Times New Roman !important;
/*Makes sure the font won't mess it up*/
color: #079FD9;
/*Change this to the background color *around* the element*/
font-size: 200px;
line-height: 7px;
position: absolute;
overflow: hidden;
top: 0px;
-webkit-user-select: none;
-moz-user-select: none;
-ms-user-select: none;
user-select: none;
width: 30px;
height: 30px;
background: white;
}
div:after {
right: -19px;
-webkit-transform: rotateX(180deg);
transform: rotateX(180deg);
}
div:before {
left: -19px;
-webkit-transform: rotateY(180deg) rotateX(180deg);
transform: rotateY(180deg) rotateX(180deg);
}
<link href='https://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Open+Sans' rel='stylesheet' type='text/css'>
<div>Mozilla</div>
It is a very hacky solution, and uses a bullet(•) to cover the div. But it works.
You will have to play around with it until you find how you want it to work.

Box shadow on css triangle

I have a few list elements that has a css triangle arrow after them. I'd like to add box-shadow around the arrow, but can't figure out why my shadow isn't working. I have tried following other solutions, but those solutions use ::after pseudo element to make the triangle, but my triangle is a separate div. any help is much appreciated.

PS: Trying to put shadow around the grey triangles, the black one doesn't need any.
As previously answered in CSS box shadow around a custom shape? , you want to use the property filter:drop-shadow(0 1px 2px rgba(0,0,0,.5)) with all vendor prefixes.

How to add arrow in an active navbar class in bootstrap [duplicate]

You know how to do this using CSS?
In my navbar I would like to see a transparent triangle to the active link.
If I create a PNG image with a transparent triangle and use it like this:
background: rgba (0,0,0,0.4) url (triangle.png) no-repeat bottom center;
this does not work properly because under my triangle shows the transparent rgba color rgba(0,0,0,0.4) ...
I would like to do this to make a nice effect when scrolling the page. It is possibile?
Demo
You can use the :before and :after pseudo elements to achieve this effect.
<nav>
<ul>
<li class="active">homepage</li>
<li>option2</li>
<li>option3</li>
</ul>
</nav>
nav {
position: fixed;
background-color: rgba(0,0,0,.7);
display: block;
width: 100%;
padding: 10px 0;
color: white;
font-size: 1.5em;
}
ul {
list-style: none;
padding: 0;
margin: 0;
}
ul li {
float: left;
width: auto;
padding: 0 20px;
position: relative;
}
nav li:before,
nav li:after {
content: '';
position: absolute;
bottom: -35px;
left: 0;
right: 0;
height: 5px;
border: 10px transparent solid;
border-top-color: rgba(0,0,0,.7);
border-left-width: 0;
border-right-width: 0;
}
nav li:before {
right: 50%;
}
nav li:after {
left: 50%;
}
nav li.active:before {
border-right-width: 10px;
}
nav li.active:after {
border-left-width: 10px;
}
nav li:last-child:after { /* covers the bottom of the navigation bar all the way to the right */
right: -9999999px;
}
Another solution using links:
<nav>
<ul>
<li>homepage</li>
<li>option2</li>
<li>option3</li>
</ul>
</nav>
write css style for :active class
js. No jQuery and you even get the hover effect for free.
i think this will help you..
same concept but used differently for further reference refer here :
stackoverflow.com/questions/17327076/how-to-create-a-ul-with-a-triangle-for-the-active-row
Will post my solution. It's pretty complicated and though I don't know if there is other simpler way to make li>a nested elements be transparent for the background under ul. This solution uses :before/:after pseudo attributes.
I used this markup (how to avoid helper <i></i>?):
<header>
<ul class="clearfix">
<li><a class="active" href="">HOMEPAGE <i></i></a></li>
<li>CONTACT <i></i></li>
<li>GET OUT <i></i></li>
</ul>
</header>
and CSS:
header li a {
text-align: center;
-moz-box-sizing: border-box;
box-sizing: border-box;
width: 100%;
display: inline-block;
padding: 25px;
color: #FFF;
position: relative;
}
header li a:hover {
background: rgba(255, 255, 255, .2);
}
header li a i:after, header li a i:before {
content:'';
position: absolute;
bottom: 0;
left: 50%;
width: 0;
height: 0;
display: none;
background: url(http://subtlepatterns.com/patterns/escheresque_ste.png);
background-attachment: fixed;
border-top: 15px solid rgba(0, 0, 0, .5);
}
header li a.active i:after, header li a.active i:before {
display: block;
}
header li a:hover i:after, header li a:hover i:before {
display: block;
border-top-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, .1);
}
header li a i:before {
margin-left: -15px;
border-right: 15px solid transparent;
}
header li a i:after {
border-left: 15px solid transparent;
}
Hopefully someone will get inspired one day.

Custom breadcrumb css stretch issue

I've created a custom breadcrumb in jsfiddle http://jsfiddle.net/jimbodeni/Ata9k/ . When you shrink the width of the page the text is on 2 lines on the last 2 breadcrumbs but is only on one line on the first breadcrumb. This causes the grey background to be out of line on the first breadcrumb with the other 2.
How can I get this to always be the max height of the largest breadcrumb so they're all uniform height no matter if one has got one line of text and another 2 lines of text?

Also, how do I get all 3 breadcrumbs to be exactly the same size? At the minute the first one is bigger than the other 2.
Thanks in advance to anyone who can help!
