CSS Border corner radius - css

how can I replicate this?
I need to do this with CSS, but I only can do the outside part with 2 separate lines:
.top-left {
position: absolute;
background: black;
height: 3px;
width: 4rem;
top: 0;
left: 0;
border-top-left-radius: 150px;
}
.left-top {
position: absolute;
background: black;
height: 4rem;
width: 3px;
top: 0;
left: 0;
border-bottom-left-radius: 150px;
}
<div class="top-left"></div>
<div class="left-top"></div>


You can do this with one element and some gradient but without transparency:
.box {
width:200px;
height:100px;
border-radius:20px;
padding:5px;
background:
linear-gradient(#fff,#fff) content-box,
linear-gradient(red,red) top left /60px 40px,
linear-gradient(blue,blue) top right /60px 40px,
linear-gradient(green,green) bottom left /60px 40px,
linear-gradient(purple,purple) bottom right/60px 40px;
background-repeat:no-repeat;
}
<div class="box"></div>

Right/left sided triangle in css

Hi i am trying to make the following:
They triangles should be about 40% in height of the container, and 50% in width, so they meet in the middle.
I have been trying to make something similar.. but unsuccessfull so far..
And looking around, i have found nothing i could use so far.
my code:
div {
height: 373px;
width: 0px;
margin: 26px;
display: inline-block;
}
.left {
border-bottom: 100px solid #ff0;
border-left: 320px solid transparent;
}
.right {
border-bottom: 100px solid #f00;
border-right: 320px solid transparent;
}
header {
border: 2px solid black;
width: 50%;
height: 500px;
}
<header>
<div class="right"></div>
<div class="left"></div>
</header>
hoping for someone smarter than me to see where i should go from here...

Use background coloration like below:
.box {
height:300px;
background:
/* Right bottom triangle*/
linear-gradient(to bottom right,transparent 49.5%,blue 50%) bottom right,
/* left bottom triangle*/
linear-gradient(to bottom left ,transparent 49.5%,red 50%) bottom left ,
yellow;
background-size:50% 40%; /* Width height*/
background-repeat:no-repeat;
}
<div class="box">
</div>

Another idea with pseudo elements (that you can replace with common elements) in case you want to have different elements.
.box {
height: 300px;
background: yellow;
position: relative
}
.box:before,
.box:after {
content: "";
position: absolute;
height: 40%;
width: 50%;
bottom: 0;
}
.box:before {
left: 0;
background: linear-gradient(to bottom left, transparent 49.5%, red 50%);
}
.box:after {
right: 0;
background: linear-gradient(to bottom right, transparent 49.5%, blue 50%);
}
<div class="box">
</div>

Since you need percent values, you can use clip-path. Beware that it may not be supported fully on some browser https://caniuse.com/#feat=css-clip-path and for some you may need prefixes (e.g. -webkit-clip-path)
.wrap {
height: 200px;
width: 100%;
position: relative;
background: #333;
}
.triangle {
background: red;
clip-path: polygon(0 40%, 0% 100%, 100% 100%);
position: absolute;
left: 0;
bottom: 0;
top: 0;
width: 50%;
}
.triangle.tr-right {
left: auto;
right: 0;
clip-path: polygon(100% 40%, 0% 100%, 100% 100%);
}
<div class="wrap">
<div class="triangle tr-left"></div>
<div class="triangle tr-right"></div>
</div>

Creating a rectangles with corners removed + stroke in CSS [duplicate]

I'm looking to "cut" the top left corner of a div, like if you had folded the corner of a page down.
I'd like to do it in pure CSS, are there any methods?

If the parent element has a solid color background, you can use pseudo-elements to create the effect:
div {
height: 300px;
background: red;
position: relative;
}
div:before {
content: '';
position: absolute;
top: 0; right: 0;
border-top: 80px solid white;
border-left: 80px solid red;
width: 0;
}
<div></div>

P.S. The upcoming border-corner-shape is exactly what you're looking for. Too bad it might get cut out of the spec, and never make it into any browsers in the wild :(

CSS Clip-Path
Using a clip-path is a new, up and coming alternative. Its starting to get supported more and more and is now becoming well documented. Since it uses SVG to create the shape, it is responsive straight out of the box.
CanIUse
Clip Path Generator
div {
width: 200px;
min-height: 200px;
-webkit-clip-path: polygon(0 0, 0 100%, 100% 100%, 100% 25%, 75% 0);
clip-path: polygon(0 0, 0 100%, 100% 100%, 100% 25%, 75% 0);
background: lightblue;
}
<div>
<p>Some Text</p>
</div>
CSS Transform
I have an alternative to web-tiki's transform answer.
body {
background: lightgreen;
}
div {
width: 200px;
height: 200px;
background: transparent;
position: relative;
overflow: hidden;
}
div.bg {
width: 200%;
height: 200%;
background: lightblue;
position: absolute;
top: 0;
left: -75%;
transform-origin: 50% 50%;
transform: rotate(45deg);
z-index: -1;
}
<div>
<div class="bg"></div>
<p>Some Text</p>
</div>

If you need a transparent cut out edge, you can use a rotated pseudo element as a background for the div and position it to cut out the desired corner:
body {
background: url(http://i.imgur.com/k8BtMvj.jpg);
background-size: cover;
}
div {
position: relative;
width: 50%;
margin: 0 auto;
overflow: hidden;
padding: 20px;
text-align: center;
}
div:after {
content: '';
position: absolute;
width: 1100%; height: 1100%;
top: 20px; right: -500%;
background: rgba(255,255,255,.8);
transform-origin: 54% 0;
transform: rotate(45deg);
z-index: -1;
}
<div>
... content ...<br/>... content ...<br/>... content ...<br/>... content ...<br/>... content ...<br/>... content ...<br/>... content ...<br/>... content ...<br/>... content ...<br/>... content ...<br/>
</div>
Note that this solution uses transforms and you need to add the required vendor prefixes. For more info see canIuse.
To cut the bottom right edge, you can change the top, transform and transform-origin properties of the pseudo element to:
body {
background: url(http://i.imgur.com/k8BtMvj.jpg);
background-size: cover;
}
div {
position: relative;
width: 50%;
margin: 0 auto;
overflow: hidden;
padding: 20px;
text-align: center;
}
div:after {
content: '';
position: absolute;
width: 1100%; height: 1100%;
bottom: 20px; right: -500%;
background: rgba(255,255,255,.8);
transform-origin: 54% 100%;
transform: rotate(-45deg);
z-index: -1;
}
<div>
... content ...<br/>... content ...<br/>... content ...<br/>... content ...<br/>... content ...<br/>... content ...<br/>... content ...<br/>... content ...<br/>... content ...<br/>... content ...<br/>
</div>

Here is another approach using CSS transform: skew(45deg) to produce the cut corner effect. The shape itself involves three elements (1 real and 2 pseudo-elements) as follows:
The main container div element has overflow: hidden and produces the left border.
The :before pseudo-element which is 20% the height of the parent container and has a skew transform applied to it. This element prodcues the border on the top and cut (slanted) border on the right side.
The :after pseudo-element which is 80% the height of the parent (basically, remaining height) and produces the bottom border, the remaining portion of the right border.
The output produced is responsive, produces a transparent cut at the top and supports transparent backgrounds.
div {
position: relative;
height: 100px;
width: 200px;
border-left: 2px solid beige;
overflow: hidden;
}
div:after,
div:before {
position: absolute;
content: '';
width: calc(100% - 2px);
left: 0px;
z-index: -1;
}
div:before {
height: 20%;
top: 0px;
border: 2px solid beige;
border-width: 2px 3px 0px 0px;
transform: skew(45deg);
transform-origin: right bottom;
}
div:after {
height: calc(80% - 4px);
bottom: 0px;
border: 2px solid beige;
border-width: 0px 2px 2px 0px;
}
.filled:before, .filled:after {
background-color: beige;
}
/* Just for demo */
div {
float: left;
color: beige;
padding: 10px;
transition: all 1s;
margin: 10px;
}
div:hover {
height: 200px;
width: 300px;
}
div.filled{
color: black;
}
body{
background-image: radial-gradient(circle, #3F9CBA 0%, #153346 100%);
}
<div class="cut-corner">Some content</div>
<div class="cut-corner filled">Some content</div>
The below is another method to produce the cut corner effect by using linear-gradient background images. A combination of 3 gradient images (given below) is used:
One linear gradient (angled towards bottom left) to produce the cut corner effect. This gradient has a fixed 25px x 25px size.
One linear gradient to provide a solid color to the left of the triangle that causes the cut effect. A gradient is used even though it produces a solid color because we can control size, position of background only when images or gradients are used. This gradient is positioned at -25px on X-axis (basically meaning it would end before the place where the cut is present).
Another gradient similar to the above which again produces a solid color but is positioned at 25px down on the Y-axis (again to leave out the cut area).
The output produced is responsive, produces transparent cut and doesn't require any extra elements (real or pseudo). The drawback is that this approach would work only when the background (fill) is a solid color and it is very difficult to produce borders (but still possible as seen in the snippet).
.cut-corner {
height: 100px;
width: 200px;
background-image: linear-gradient(to bottom left, transparent 50%, beige 50%), linear-gradient(beige, beige), linear-gradient(beige, beige);
background-size: 25px 25px, 100% 100%, 100% 100%;
background-position: 100% 0%, -25px 0%, 100% 25px;
background-repeat: no-repeat;
}
.filled {
background-image: linear-gradient(black, black), linear-gradient(black, black), linear-gradient(black, black), linear-gradient(black, black), linear-gradient(to bottom left, transparent calc(50% - 1px), black calc(50% - 1px), black calc(50% + 1px), beige calc(50% + 1px)), linear-gradient(beige, beige), linear-gradient(beige, beige);
background-size: 2px 100%, 2px 100%, 100% 2px, 100% 2px, 25px 25px, 100% 100%, 100% 100%;
background-position: 0% 0%, 100% 25px, -25px 0%, 0px 100%, 100% 0%, -25px 0%, 100% 25px;
}
/* Just for demo */
*{
box-sizing: border-box;
}
div {
float: left;
color: black;
padding: 10px;
transition: all 1s;
margin: 10px;
}
div:hover {
height: 200px;
width: 300px;
}
body{
background-image: radial-gradient(circle, #3F9CBA 0%, #153346 100%);
}
<div class="cut-corner">Some content</div>
<div class="cut-corner filled">Some content</div>

You could use linear-gradient. Let's say the parent div had a background image, and you needed a div to sit on top of that with a gray background and a dog-eared left corner. You could do something like this:
.parent-div { background: url('/image.jpg'); }
.child-div {
background: #333;
background: linear-gradient(135deg, transparent 30px, #333 0);
}

I have an online generator for some of the below code: https://css-generators.com/custom-corners/
You can use mask and CSS variables to have better control over the whole shape. It's responsive, transparent and allow any kind of background:
.box {
--all:0px;
width:200px;
height:150px;
display:inline-block;
margin:10px;
background:red;
-webkit-mask:
linear-gradient( 45deg, transparent 0 var(--bottom-left,var(--all)) ,#fff 0) bottom left,
linear-gradient( -45deg, transparent 0 var(--bottom-right,var(--all)),#fff 0) bottom right,
linear-gradient( 135deg, transparent 0 var(--top-left,var(--all)) ,#fff 0) top left,
linear-gradient(-135deg, transparent 0 var(--top-right,var(--all)) ,#fff 0) top right;
-webkit-mask-size:50.5% 50.5%;
-webkit-mask-repeat:no-repeat;
}
body {
background:grey;
}
<div class="box" style="--top-left:20px"></div>
<div class="box" style="--top-right:20px;--bottom-right:50px;background:radial-gradient(red,yellow)"></div>

<div class="box" style="--all:12%;width:150px;background:repeating-linear-gradient(45deg,#000 0 10px,#fff 0 20px)"></div>

This code allows you to cut corners on each side of the rectangle:
div {

background-size:cover;

clip-path: polygon(10px 0%, calc(100% - 10px) 0%, 100% 10px, 100% calc(100% - 10px), calc(100% - 10px) 100%, 10px 100%, 0% calc(100% - 10px), 0% 10px);

If you need a diagonal border instead of a diagonal corner, you can stack 2 divs with each a pseudo element:

You can use clip-path, as Stewartside and Sviatoslav Oleksiv mentioned. To make things easy, I created a sass mixin:
#mixin cut-corners ($left-top, $right-top: 0px, $right-bottom: 0px, $left-bottom: 0px) {
clip-path: polygon($left-top 0%, calc(100% - #{$right-top}) 0%, 100% $right-top, 100% calc(100% - #{$right-bottom}), calc(100% - #{$right-bottom}) 100%, $left-bottom 100%, 0% calc(100% - #{$left-bottom}), 0% $left-top);
}
.cut-corners {
#include cut-corners(10px, 0, 25px, 50px);
}

According to Harry's linear-gradient solution (answered Oct 14 '15 at 9:55), it says that opacity background isn't possible, I tried it and yep, it isn't.
But! I found a workaround. No it's not super optimised, but it worked. So here's my solution. Since Harry doesn't use pseudo element, we can achieve this by creating one.
Set position relative to the container and create a pseudo element with the same linear-gradient properties. In other words, just clone it. Then put a transparent background for the container, and lets say a black background for the clone. Put a position absolute on it, a z-index of -1 and an opacity value (ie. 50%). It will do the job. Again it's a workaround and it's not perfect but it works just fine.
.cut-corner {
position: relative;
color: white;
background-repeat: no-repeat;
background-image: linear-gradient(white, white), linear-gradient(white, white), linear-gradient(white, white), linear-gradient(white, white), linear-gradient(to bottom left, transparent calc(50% - 1px), white calc(50% - 1px), white calc(50% + 1px), transparent calc(50% + 1px)), linear-gradient(transparent, transparent), linear-gradient(transparent, transparent);
background-size: 2px 100%, 2px 100%, 100% 2px, 100% 2px, 25px 25px, 100% 100%, 100% 100%;
background-position: 0% 0%, 100% 25px, -25px 0%, 0px 100%, 100% 0%, -25px 0%, 100% 25px;
}
.cut-corner:after {
content: "";
position: absolute;
left: 0;
bottom: 0;
right: 0;
top: 0;
z-index: -1;
opacity: 0.5;
background-repeat: no-repeat;
background-image: linear-gradient(white, white), linear-gradient(white, white), linear-gradient(white, white), linear-gradient(white, white), linear-gradient(to bottom left, transparent calc(50% - 1px), white calc(50% - 1px), white calc(50% + 1px), black calc(50% + 1px)), linear-gradient(black, black), linear-gradient(black, black);
background-size: 2px 100%, 2px 100%, 100% 2px, 100% 2px, 25px 25px, 100% 100%, 100% 100%;
background-position: 0% 0%, 100% 25px, -25px 0%, 0px 100%, 100% 0%, -25px 0%, 100% 25px;
}
/* Just for demo */
div {
padding: 10px;
}
body{
background-image: radial-gradient(circle, #3F9CBA 0%, #153346 100%);
}
<div class="cut-corner">

</div>

With a small edit to Joseph's code, the element does not require a solid background:
div {
height: 300px;
background: url('http://images2.layoutsparks.com/1/190037/serene-nature-scenery-blue.jpg');
position: relative;
}
div:before {
content: '';
position: absolute;
top: 0; right: 0;
border-top: 80px solid white;
border-left: 80px solid rgba(0,0,0,0);
width: 0;
}
http://jsfiddle.net/2bZAW/1921/
This use of 'rgba(0,0,0,0)' allows the inner 'corner' to be invisible
.
You can also edit the 4th parameter 'a', where 0 < a < 1, to have a shadow for more of a 'folded-corner' effect:
http://jsfiddle.net/2bZAW/1922/ (with shadow)
NOTE: RGBA color values are supported in IE9+, Firefox 3+, Chrome, Safari, and in Opera 10+.

by small modification of Joshep's code...You can use this code which seems like right corner folded down as per your requirement.
div {
height: 300px;
background: red;
position: relative;
}
div:before {
content: '';
position: absolute;
top: 0; right: 0;
border-top: 80px solid white;
border-left: 80px solid blue;
width: 0;
}

Another one solution:
html:
<div class="background">
<div class="container">Hello world!</div>
</div>
css:
.background {
position: relative;
width: 50px;
height: 50px;
border-right: 150px solid lightgreen;
border-bottom: 150px solid lightgreen;
border-radius: 10px;
}
.background::before {
content: "";
position: absolute;
top: 0;
left: 0;
width: 0;
height: 0;
border: 25px solid lightgreen;
border-top-color: transparent;
border-left-color: transparent;
}
.container {
position: absolute;
padding-left: 25px;
padding-top: 25px;
font-size: 38px;
font-weight: bolder;
}

I recently cut off the top right corner and overlaid the tabs like folders. Complete code noob, so ignore the shitty code, but I did this by combining a square, a triangle, and a rectangle... This may or may not be a new approach, but hopefully, someone finds it helpful.

How to access WordPress database from Plugins file [duplicate]

I have a project where I need to insert speech bubbles / message boxes. The general shape I am trying to achieve is this one :
.bubble {
height: 100px;
width: 200px;
border: 3px solid gray;
background: lightgray;
position: relative;
cursor:pointer;
}
.triangle {
width: 0;
border-top: 20px solid black;
border-left: 20px solid transparent;
border-right: 20px solid transparent;
cursor:pointer;
}
<div class="bubble">Speech bubble
</div>
<div class="triangle">
</div>
This currently does not pass a hit-test as the transparent border is also clickable.
Objectives
The hit box (clickable / hoverable areas) needs to stick to the shape's boundaries (the transparent borders here are also hoverable, invalidating this).
I need to display the shape over various content (images, gradents, text...),
Issues
The main issues I am having when manipulating this shape are:
Have the ability to move the triangle around the speech bubble according to the position of the element it refers to (top/left/right/bottom sides)
adding a border or box shadow around it when emphasis is needed
Is there anyway of addressing these issues?

In order to achieve this, you should consider altering your markup in order to make your html more efficient. This can be achieved using a pseudo element. I'll address each point individually, and put it all together at the end of my answer.
First of all,
Use pseudo elements to avoid extra elements
You could use a pseudo element to remove the extra .triangle div. This not only reduces your div numbers, but also helps with positioning as you can use the top: left: right: and bottom: css properties in order to position according to your main element. This can be seen below:
.oneAndOnlyDiv {
height: 100px;
width: 200px;
border: 3px solid gray;
background: lightgray;
position: relative;
}
.oneAndOnlyDiv:before {
content: "";
position: absolute;
top: 100%;
left: 20px;
width: 0;
border-top: 20px solid black;
border-left: 20px solid transparent;
border-right: 20px solid transparent;
}
<div class="oneAndOnlyDiv">Main div</div>
Hit testing
In order to create your "hit test", you may wish to use a rotated element instead of a border hack.
Something like:
div {
height: 100px;
width: 200px;
background: gray;
position: relative;
cursor:pointer;
}
div:before {
content: "";
position: absolute;
top: 100%;
left: 20px;
height: 20px;
width: 20px;
background: black;
transform: rotate(45deg);
transform-origin:top right;
}
<div>Only element</div>
or use a skewed pseudo element:
div {
height: 100px;
width: 200px;
background: gray;
position: relative;
cursor:pointer;
}
div:before {
content: "";
position: absolute;
top: 90%;
left: 20px;
height: 30%;
width: 20px;
background: black;
transform: skewY(-45deg);
transform-origin:bottom left;
z-index:-1;
}
<div>Only element</div>
which will show the pointer only when the square or main element is hovered.
But hang on, that messes up the positioning? how can you deal with that?
There are a few solutions to that. One of which is to use the calc CSS property.
div {
height: 100px;
width: 200px;
background: gray;
position: relative;
cursor:pointer;
}
div:before {
content: "";
position: absolute;
top: -webkit-calc(100% - 10px); /*may require prefix for old browser support*/
top: calc(100% - 10px); /*i.e. half the height*/
left: 20px;
height: 20px;
width: 20px;
background: gray;
transform: rotate(45deg);
}
<div>Only element</div>
Adding a border
You can add a border quite easily now, simply by adding a border declaration to the main element, and setting the border-bottom and border-right of the pseudo element to inherit
Border
div {
height: 100px;
width: 200px;
background: gray;
position: relative;
cursor:pointer;
border:3px double black;
}
div:before {
content: "";
position: absolute;
top: -webkit-calc(100% - 10px); /*may require prefix for old browser support*/
top: calc(100% - 10px); /*i.e. half the height*/
left: 20px;
height: 20px;
width: 20px;
background: gray;
transform: rotate(45deg);
border-bottom:inherit;
border-right:inherit;
box-shadow:inherit;
}
<div>Only element</div>
Box Shadow:
In order to have a box shadow, I've used the :after pseudo element in order to hide the box shadow over the other pseudo, making the element seem as one single element.
div {
height: 100px;
width: 200px;
background: gray;
position: relative;
cursor:pointer;
box-shadow: 5px 5px 10px 2px black;
}
div:before,div:after {
content: "";
position: absolute;
top: -webkit-calc(100% - 10px); /*may require prefix for old browser support*/
top: calc(100% - 10px); /*i.e. half the height*/
left: 20px;
height: 20px;
width: 20px;
background: gray;
transform: rotate(45deg);
z-index:-1;
box-shadow:inherit;
}
div:after{
box-shadow:none;
z-index:8;
}
<div>Only element</div>
Putting it all together
You can also add a border radius to your message box or speech bubble by again, using the border-radius property:
div {
height: 100px;
width: 200px;
background: gray;
position: relative;
cursor:pointer;
border:3px double black;
border-radius:10px;
}
div:before {
content: "";
position: absolute;
top: -webkit-calc(100% - 10px); /*may require prefix for old browser support*/
top: calc(100% - 10px); /*i.e. half the height*/
left: 20px;
height: 20px;
width: 20px;
background: gray;
transform: rotate(45deg);
border-bottom:inherit;
border-right:inherit;
box-shadow:inherit;
}
<div>Only element</div>
This even allows you to create not only a triangle, but how about a circle instead?
div {
height: 100px;
width: 200px;
background: gray;
position: relative;
cursor:pointer;
border:3px double black;
border-radius:10px;
}
div:before {
content: "";
position: absolute;
top: -webkit-calc(100% - 13px); /*may require prefix for old browser support*/
top: calc(100% - 13px); /*i.e. half the height + border*/
left: 20px;
height: 20px;
width: 20px;
background: gray;
transform: rotate(45deg);
border:3px double transparent;
border-bottom:inherit;
border-right:inherit;
box-shadow:inherit;
border-radius:50%;
}
<div>Only element</div>
If you are having issues with content overflowing and being 'hidden' behind this pseudo element, and you aren't fussed about having a border, you could use a negative z-index which will solve this issue.
Don't like using 'magic numbers'?
If you don't like the idea of using a calc value, in which the positioning in my answer is currently using (whilst working), you may wish to use transform:translate(50%)
This would be a much better approach, since:
You do not need to know the size of the border, nor half the width
You will be making your message box/ bubble a lot more dynamic in its positioning, and would support further sizings.
div {
height: 100px;
width: 200px;
background: gray;
position: relative;
cursor: pointer;
border: 3px double black;
border-radius: 10px;
}
div:before {
content: "";
position: absolute;
top: 100%;
left: 30px;
height: 20px;
width: 20px;
background: gray;
box-sizing:border-box;
transform: rotate(45deg) translate(-50%);
border-bottom: inherit;
border-right: inherit;
box-shadow: inherit;
}
<div>Only element</div>
Want to move it? You can!
div {
height: 100px;
width: 200px;
background: gray;
position: relative;
cursor: pointer;
border: 3px double black;
border-radius: 10px;
}
div:before {
content: "";
position: absolute;
top: 100%;
left: 10%;
height: 20px;
width: 20px;
background: gray;
box-sizing: border-box;
transform: rotate(45deg) translate(-50%);
border-bottom: inherit;
border-right: inherit;
box-shadow: inherit;
transition: all 0.8s;
}
div:hover:before {
left: 90%;
}
<div>Only element</div>
Want it one the right?
div {
height: 100px;
width: 200px;
background: gray;
position: relative;
cursor: pointer;
border: 3px double black;
border-radius: 10px;
}
div:before {

position: absolute;
top: 15%;
left: 100%;
height: 20px;
width: 20px;
background: gray;
box-sizing:border-box;
transform: rotate(45deg) translate(-50%);
border-top: inherit;
border-right: inherit;
box-shadow: inherit;
transition:all 0.8s;
}
div:hover:before{
top:80%;
}
<div>Only Element</div>
Want it to be a different shape of triangle?
div {
height: 100px;
width: 200px;
background: gray;
position: relative;
cursor: pointer;
border-radius: 10px;
}
div:before {
content: "";
position: absolute;
top: 70%;
left: 100%;
height: 20px;
width: 20px;
background: gray;
box-sizing:border-box;
transform: translate(-50%) skewX(45deg);
box-shadow: inherit;
transition:all 0.8s;
z-index:-1;
}
div:hover:before{
transform: translate(-50%);
border-radius:50%;
top:20%;
}
<div>Only Element</div>

We can rely on clip-path and drop-shadow filter to easily achieve this:
.box {
margin: 50px;
width: 200px;
height: 100px;
border-radius: 15px;
background: red;
position: relative;
filter: /* the more shadow you add the thicker the border will be */
drop-shadow(0px 0px 1px green)
drop-shadow(0px 0px 1px green)
drop-shadow(0px 0px 1px green)
drop-shadow(0px 0px 1px green)
drop-shadow(0px 0px 1px green)
drop-shadow(0px 0px 1px green);
}
.box::before {
content: "";
position: absolute;
top: 100%;
left: 20%;
height: 30px;
width: 50px;
background: inherit;
clip-path: polygon(0 0, 100% 0, 50% 100%);
}
.box:hover {
background:blue;
}
body {
background:linear-gradient(to right, pink,grey);
}
<div class="box"></div>
We can extend this basic example to consider any kind of position and triangle shape:
.box {
margin: 30px;
width: 150px;
height: 80px;
display:inline-block;
border-radius: 15px;
background: red;
position: relative;
filter: /* the more shadow you add the thicker the border will be */
drop-shadow(0px 0px 1px green)
drop-shadow(0px 0px 1px green)
drop-shadow(0px 0px 1px green)
drop-shadow(0px 0px 1px green)
drop-shadow(0px 0px 1px green)
drop-shadow(0px 0px 1px green);
}
.box::before {
content: "";
position: absolute;
height: var(--h,20px);
width: var(--w,30px);
background: inherit;
transform:scale(var(--x,1),var(--y,1));
}
.box.p-bottom::before{
top: 100%;
clip-path: polygon(0 0, 100% 0, 50% 100%);
}
.box.p-bottom.alt::before{
clip-path: polygon(0 0, 100% 0, 100% 100%);
}
.box.p-top::before{
bottom: 100%;
clip-path: polygon(0 100%, 100% 100%, 50% 0);
}
.box.p-top.alt::before{
clip-path: polygon(0 100%, 100% 100%, 100% 0);
}
.box.p-left::before{
right: 100%;
clip-path: polygon(100% 0, 100% 100%,0% 50%);
}
.box.p-left.alt::before{
clip-path: polygon(100% 0, 100% 100%,0% 100%);
}
.box.p-right::before{
left: 100%;
clip-path: polygon(0% 0, 0% 100%,100% 50%);
}
.box.p-right.alt::before{
clip-path: polygon(0% 0, 0% 100%,100% 100%);
}
.box.right::before{
right:var(--p,20px);
}
.box.left::before {
left:var(--p,20px);
}
.box.top::before{
top:var(--p,20px);
}
.box.bottom::before {

}
.box:hover {

<div class="box p-right bottom alt" style="--p:30px;--w:20px;--h:30px;--y:-1"></div>
We can also consider any kind of background for the whole shape. The trick work for a fixed width/height. The idea is to create a background having the same size for both the main and pseudo element then we simply adjust the position of the one inside the pseudo element to match the one of the parent (to have a perfect overlap)
.box {
--h:20px;
--w:30px;

SVG
This does not pass a hit-test as the transparent border is also clickable
This can be done using the pointer-events in svg.
pointer-events:visibleFill; Will only select the part where there is paint.
This example uses filter_box-shadow and is not supported by IE.
Also uses two shapes.
html,
body {
margin: 0;
padding: 0;
}
.bubble {
width: 150px;
height: 150px;
-webkit-filter: drop-shadow(5px 5px 0px #aaa);
filter: drop-shadow(5px 5px 0px #aaa);
}
.bubble-shape {
fill: #1e1;
}
.shape-text {
color: black;
}
<svg class="bubble" viewBox="0 0 110 110" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" preserveAspectRatio="none">
<g class="bubble-shape" style="cursor:pointer; pointer-events:visibleFill;">
<rect x="10" y="10" width="90" height="90" rx="15" ry="15" />
<polygon points="20,94 40,94 30,105" />
</g>
</svg>
This example uses one path
Should be fully supported by IE.
html,
body {
margin: 0;
padding: 0;
}
.bubble {
width: 150px;
height: 150px;
}
.bubble-shape {
stroke-width: 15;
stroke: #ddd;
fill: #1e1;
}
.shape-text {
color: black;
}
<svg class="bubble" viewBox="-70 -10 390 370" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" preserveAspectRatio="none">

How can I create a postage stamp border?

I would like a div to look like this:
but would only like to use CSS, how would I go about creating a shape like this?
Do I create custom border for the top and bottom?

You can look at the code here, it does exactly what you want: http://codepen.io/orhanveli/pen/tbGJL
The code from the website:
HTML
<!-- Lets create a CSS3 stamp -->
<div class="stamp">
<!-- the image -->
<img src="http://thecodeplayer.com/uploads/media/css3logo.png" />
</div>
CSS
*{margin: 0; padding: 0;}
body {
background: #B1d202;
padding: 100px;
text-align: center;
}
.stamp {
width: 280px;
height: 180px;
display: inline-block;
padding: 10px;
background: white;
position: relative;
-webkit-filter: drop-shadow(0px 0px 10px rgba(0,0,0,0.5));
/*The stamp cutout will be created using crisp radial gradients*/
background: radial-gradient(
transparent 0px,
transparent 4px,
white 4px,
white
);
/*reducing the gradient size*/
background-size: 20px 20px;
/*Offset to move the holes to the edge*/
background-position: -10px -10px;
}
.stamp:after {
content: '';
position: absolute;
/*We can shrink the pseudo element here to hide the shadow edges*/
left: 5px; top: 5px; right: 5px; bottom: 5px;
/*Shadow - doesn't look good because of the stamp cutout. We can still move this into another pseudo element behind the .stamp main element*/
/*box-shadow: 0 0 20px 1px rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.5);*/
/*pushing it back*/
z-index: -1;
}
/*Some text*/
.stamp:before {
content: 'CSS3';
position: absolute;
bottom: 0; left: 0;
font: bold 24px arial;
color: white;
opacity: 0.75;
line-height: 100%;
padding: 20px;
}
.stamp img {
}

If you want to only have the borders on the top and on the bottom of your image you can create this by using pseudo elements.
.stamp {
margin-top: 50px;
margin-left: 50px;
position: relative;
width: 500px;
height: 300px;
background: #bbb;
-webkit-filter: drop-shadow(3px 3px 1px black);
filter: drop-shadow(0px 0px 5px white);
}
.stamp:before {
position: absolute;
top: -20px;
display: block;
content: "";
background: radial-gradient(circle, transparent 15px, #bbb 16px);
background-size: 50px 40px;
background-position: -20px -20px;
width: 100%;
height: 40px;
z-index: -1;
}
.stamp:after {
position: absolute;
bottom: -20px;
content: "";
display: block;
background: radial-gradient(circle, transparent 15px, #bbb 16px);
background-size: 50px 40px;
background-position: -20px -20px;
width: 100%;
height: 40px;
z-index: -1;
}
body {
margin: 0;
background-color: #333;
}
<div class="stamp">
</div>

You could use the mask-box-image property to do this.
FIDDLE
See this html5 Rocks article on masking
<img src="http://www.html5rocks.com/en/tutorials/masking/adobe/humayun-thom-arno.jpg" />
CSS
img {
-webkit-mask-box-image: url(http://www.html5rocks.com/en/tutorials/masking/adobe/stampTiles.svg) 35 repeat;
mask-box-image: url(http://www.html5rocks.com/en/tutorials/masking/adobe/stampTiles.svg) 35 repeat;
}

How to give a div oval shape?

I tried a lot on oval shape which have cut in both sides but not able to do it please
I need code for oval shape with cut in both side..
Here's my code below:-
.demo{
width: 100%;
height: 600px;
background: white;
-moz-border-radius: 100px / 50px;
-webkit-border-radius: 100px / 178px;
border-radius: 694px / 208px;
z-index: 100;
position: relative;
}

Is this OK ?
HTML
<div id="oval_parent">
<div id="oval"></div>
</div>
CSS
#oval_parent{
background:black;
width:200px;
height:120px;
overflow:hidden;
}
#oval{
width: 220px;
height: 100px;
margin:10px 0 0 -10px;
background: white;
-moz-border-radius: 100px / 50px;
-webkit-border-radius: 100px / 50px;
border-radius: 100px / 50px;
}
DEMO.

Try this:
#oval-shape {
width: 200px;
height: 100px;
background: blue;
-moz-border-radius: 100px / 50px;
-webkit-border-radius: 100px / 50px;
border-radius: 100px / 50px;
}
Notice the ratios in the corner values in relation to the height.
Demo - http://jsfiddle.net/XDLVx/

Change the values on css:
#demo {
width: 100%;
height: 600px;
background: white;
-moz-border-radius: 50% / 250px;
-webkit-border-radius: 40% / 250px;
border-radius: 50% / 250px;
z-index: 100;
position: relative;
}

Put it inside another div which is high enough to show all the oval, not quite wide enough, and set overflow: hidden. If it's positioned at the centre the edges will be cut off, but you won't be able to side-scroll.

Here are two possible variants:
Method #01:
Use radial-gradient():
background: radial-gradient(ellipse 65% 40%, transparent 0, transparent 90%, black 90%);
body {
background: linear-gradient(orange, red);
padding: 0 20px;
margin: 0;
}
.oval {
background: radial-gradient(ellipse 65% 40%, transparent 0, transparent 90%, black 90%);
height: 100vh;
}
<div class="oval">
</div>
Method #02:
Create an overlay with :before or :after pseudo element.
Add border-radius.
Apply a large box-shadow with overflow: hidden on parent to hide undesired area.
body {
background: linear-gradient(orange, red);
padding: 0 20px;
margin: 0;
}
.oval {
position: relative;
overflow: hidden;
height: 100vh;
}
.oval:before {
box-shadow: 0 0 0 500px #000;
border-radius: 100%;
position: absolute;
content: '';
right: -10%;
left: -10%;
top: 10%;
bottom: 10%;
}
<div class="oval">
</div>
