How do I make this arrow using css?
I'm not able to remove the border of the third side of the triangle
Here is what I have so far:
#arrowbox
{
width: 200px;
height: 50px;
background-color:white;
margin-left:100px;
margin-top:100px;
position: relative;
border-style:solid;
}
#arrowbox:after {
left: 100%;
top: 20%;
content: " ";
height: 0;
width: 0;
position: absolute;
border-style:solid;
border-color: rgba(0, 128, 0, 0);
border-left-color: black;
border-width: 40px;
margin-top: -25px;
}
<div id="arrowbox"></div>
You can try something like this using pseudo-element and gradient:
.arrow {
width:300px;
height:100px;
margin:50px;
border:1px solid #000;
border-right:none;
position:relative;
}
.arrow:before {
content:"";
position:absolute;
right:-50px;
width:100px;
height:100px;
border-top:1px solid #000;
border-right:1px solid #000;
transform: rotate(45deg);
}
.arrow:after {
content:"";
position:absolute;
right:0;
top:-20px;
bottom:-20px;
width:1px;
background:
linear-gradient(#000,#000)top/100% 20px no-repeat,
linear-gradient(#000,#000)bottom/100% 20px no-repeat;
}
<div class="arrow">
</div>
You can also use polygon element of SVG to easily create it:
svg polygon {
stroke:#000;
fill:transparent;
}
<svg height="100" width="300">
<polygon points="0,20 0,80 200,80 200,100 300,50 200,0 200,20" />
</svg>
You could take advantage of the clip-path property, however, its not widely supported at this time: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/CSS/clip-path
#arrowbox {
width: 100px; height: 100px;
background: pink;
-webkit-clip-path: polygon(0% 35%, 75% 35%, 75% 25%, 99% 50%, 75% 75%, 75% 65%, 0% 65%);
clip-path: polygon(0% 35%, 75% 35%, 75% 25%, 99% 50%, 75% 75%, 75% 65%, 0% 65%);
}
<div id="arrowbox"></div>
For those looking for an SVG option, this would give you the luxury of filling it with a color if you wish, or add other styling attributes as needed:
svg { width: 150px; height: 150px; }
<svg viewBox="0 0 100 100" fill="none" stroke="black" stroke-width="1">
<path d="M 1,35 75,35 75,25 99,50 75,75 75,65 1,65z" />
</svg>
<hr>
<svg viewBox="0 0 100 100" fill="green" stroke="blue" stroke-width="2">
<path d="M 1,35 75,35 75,25 99,50 75,75 75,65 1,65z" />
</svg>

I have the following CSS:
a.btn.white-grad {
background: $lgrey;
color: #313149 !important;
border: 1px solid #000;
border-image-source: linear-gradient(to right, #9c20aa, #fb3570);
border-image-slice: 20;
float: left;
#include font-size(26);
margin: 75px 0;
}
Adding border-radius: 5px doesn't seem to do anything. I figured it's because I'm using a border gradient... is there a way for me to achieve the desired 5px border radius at all?

You cannot use border-radius with gradient. Here is another idea where you can rely on multiple background and adjust the background-clip:
.white-grad {
background:
linear-gradient(#ccc 0 0) padding-box, /*this is your grey background*/
linear-gradient(to right, #9c20aa, #fb3570) border-box;
color: #313149;
padding: 10px;
border: 5px solid transparent;
border-radius: 15px;
display: inline-block;
margin: 75px 0;
}
<div class="white-grad"> Some text here</div>
<div class="white-grad"> Some long long long text here</div>
<div class="white-grad"> Some long long <br>long text here</div>
SVG method
If you want transparency, you can consider SVG like below:
svg {
width:200px;
height:100px;
margin:10px;
}
<svg xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg">
<defs>
<linearGradient id="Gradient" x1="0" x2="100" y1="0" y2="0" gradientUnits="userSpaceOnUse">
<stop stop-color="#9c20aa" offset="0"/>
<stop stop-color="#fb3570" offset="1"/>
</linearGradient>
</defs>
<rect x="5" y="5" height="100%" width="100%" style="width:calc(100% - 10px);height:calc(100% - 10px)" rx="20" ry="20" stroke-width="10" fill="transparent" stroke="url(#Gradient)"/>
</svg>
That you can apply as background:
.white-grad {
background:url('data:image/svg+xml;utf8,<svg xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" ><defs><linearGradient id="Gradient" x1="0" x2="100" y1="0" y2="0" gradientUnits="userSpaceOnUse"><stop stop-color="%239c20aa" offset="0"/><stop stop-color="%23fb3570" offset="1"/></linearGradient></defs><rect x="5" y="5" width="100%" height="100%" style="height:calc(100% - 10px);width:calc(100% - 10px)" rx="20" ry="20" stroke-width="10" fill="transparent" stroke="url(%23Gradient)"/></svg>');
color: #313149;
padding:25px;
border-radius:15px;
display:inline-block;
margin: 75px 0;
}
body {
background:yellow;
}
<div class="white-grad"> Some text here</div>
<div class="white-grad"> text very loooooooooooong here</div>
And the same way as mask where you can get the gradient outside of the SVG:
.white-grad {
color: #313149;
padding: 25px;
border-radius: 15px;
display: inline-block;
margin: 75px 0;
background-size: 0 0;
position: relative;
z-index: 0;
}
.white-grad::before {
content: "";
position: absolute;
z-index: -1;
top: 0;
left: 0;
right: 0;
bottom: 0;
background-image: inherit;
background-size: auto;
--mask: url('data:image/svg+xml;utf8,<svg xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" ><rect x="5" y="5" width="100%" height="100%" style="height:calc(100% - 10px);width:calc(100% - 10px)" rx="20" ry="20" stroke-width="10" fill="transparent" stroke="white"/></svg>');
-webkit-mask: var(--mask);
mask: var(--mask);
}
body {
background: yellow;
}
<div class="white-grad" style="background-image:linear-gradient(to right,blue,red)"> Some text here</div>
<div class="white-grad" style="background-image:linear-gradient(black,lightblue,green)"> text very loooooooooooong here</div>
<div class="white-grad" style="background-image:radial-gradient(blue,pink)"> text very<br> loooooooooooong here</div>
You can also use it as common element and consider position:absolute to place it around the text:
.white-grad {
color: #313149;
padding: 25px;
border-radius: 15px;
display: inline-block;
margin: 75px 0;
position:relative;
z-index:0;
}
.white-grad > svg {
position:absolute;
top:0;
left:0;
height:100%;
width:100%;
z-index:-1;
}
body {
background: yellow;
}
.hide {
height:0;
width:0;
}
<svg class="hide" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg"><defs><linearGradient id="Gradient" x1="0" x2="100" y1="0" y2="0" gradientUnits="userSpaceOnUse"><stop stop-color="#9c20aa" offset="0"/><stop stop-color="#fb3570" offset="1"/></linearGradient></defs><rect x="5" y="5" width="100%" height="100%" id="border" style="height:calc(100% - 10px);width:calc(100% - 10px)" rx="20" ry="20" stroke-width="10" fill="transparent" stroke="url(#Gradient)"/></svg>
<div class="white-grad">
<svg xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg">
<use href="#border" />
</svg>
Some text here</div>
<div class="white-grad">
<svg xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg">
<use href="#border" />
</svg>
text very loooooooooooong here</div>

You need to wrap the button in a div and set the border-radius on that parent div. In order to work, you will have to set overflow:hidden to that parent div as well. Like so:
.btn-wrap {
border-radius: 5px;
overflow: hidden;
margin: 20px;
width: 60px;
}
a.btn.white-grad {
background: #eee;
color: #313149 !important;
border: 20px solid #000;
border-image-source: linear-gradient(to right, #9c20aa, #fb3570);
border-image-slice: 20;
line-height: 2;
}
<div class="btn-wrap">
link
</div>
I have the following CSS:
a.btn.white-grad {
background: $lgrey;
color: #313149 !important;
border: 1px solid #000;
border-image-source: linear-gradient(to right, #9c20aa, #fb3570);
border-image-slice: 20;
float: left;
#include font-size(26);
margin: 75px 0;
}

You need to wrap the button in a div and set the border-radius on that parent div. In order to work, you will have to set overflow:hidden to that parent div as well. Like so:
.btn-wrap {
border-radius: 5px;
overflow: hidden;
margin: 20px;
width: 60px;
}
a.btn.white-grad {
background: #eee;
color: #313149 !important;
border: 20px solid #000;
border-image-source: linear-gradient(to right, #9c20aa, #fb3570);
border-image-slice: 20;
line-height: 2;
}
<div class="btn-wrap">
link
</div>
I'm trying to create blocks and elements with rounded corners and a gap between the corner and the straight line. Turns out its a little bit difficult :)
I also have to create "button" like this,
and
If I can not create them in pure CSS I will use svg for this, but I have to solve the above problem first.
Anyone have some idea?
Looks like a job for a border-image.
const grab = document.getElementById('grab');
console.log("url('data:image/svg+xml;base64,"+btoa(grab.innerHTML.replace(/\r?\n */g,''))+"')");

border: 16px solid;

I've included the SVG I used as well as the method for getting a data: URL for it, which can then be put in the border-image.

I'm trying to create an asymmetrical sawtooth pattern at the bottom of a site header that looks like this (except the sawtooth would be asymmetrical):
sawtooth border example
I've tried some pure CSS approaches using (linear-gradient) to no avail.
I can create a repeating pattern, but cannot also make it a clip-path such that it cuts out the background color of the header (pink) to show the body background underneath.

You may try this css only solution: css linear gradients
body {
background-color: tomato;
margin: 0;
}
.header {
position:relative;
height: 100px;
background-color: pink;
overflow: hidden;
margin: 0;
}
.header svg {
position: absolute;
bottom: 0;
}
div::after{
content:"";
display:block;
position:absolute;
bottom:0;
width:100%;
height:1.2em;
background-image:-webkit-linear-gradient(45deg, pink 25%, transparent 26%, transparent 75%, pink 75%),
-webkit-linear-gradient(135deg, pink 25%, tomato 26%,tomato 75%, pink 75%);
background-image: linear-gradient(45deg, pink 25%, transparent 26%, transparent 75%, pink 75%),
linear-gradient(135deg, pink 25%, tomato 26%, tomato 75%, pink 75%);
background-size:36px 36px;}
}
<body>
<div class="header">
</div>
</body>
UPDATE
an asymmetrical sawtooth pattern:
body {
background-color: tomato;
margin: 0;
}
.header {
position:relative;
height: 100px;
background-color: pink;
overflow: hidden;
margin: 0;
}
.header svg {
position: absolute;
bottom: 0;
}
div::after{
content:"";
display:block;
position:absolute;
bottom:0;
width:100%;
height:25px;
background-image: linear-gradient(45deg, tomato 50%, pink 50% , pink 100%),
linear-gradient(135deg, tomato 50%, pink 50% , pink 100%);
background-size:25px 25px;}
}
<body>
<div class="header">

I have the following CSS:
a.btn.white-grad {
background: $lgrey;
color: #313149 !important;
border: 1px solid #000;
border-image-source: linear-gradient(to right, #9c20aa, #fb3570);
border-image-slice: 20;
float: left;
#include font-size(26);
margin: 75px 0;
}
Adding border-radius: 5px doesn't seem to do anything. I figured it's because I'm using a border gradient... is there a way for me to achieve the desired 5px border radius at all?
2021: I recommend using the CSS mask method since the support is pretty good now
You cannot use border-radius with gradient. Here is another idea where you can rely on multiple background and adjust the background-clip:
.white-grad {
background:
linear-gradient(#ccc 0 0) padding-box, /*this is your grey background*/
linear-gradient(to right, #9c20aa, #fb3570) border-box;
color: #313149;
padding: 10px;
border: 5px solid transparent;
border-radius: 15px;
display: inline-block;
margin: 75px 0;
}
<div class="white-grad"> Some text here</div>
<div class="white-grad"> Some long long long text here</div>
<div class="white-grad"> Some long long <br>long text here</div>
SVG method
If you want transparency, you can consider SVG like below:
svg {
width:200px;
height:100px;
margin:10px;
}
<svg xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg">
<defs>
<linearGradient id="Gradient" x1="0" x2="100" y1="0" y2="0" gradientUnits="userSpaceOnUse">
<stop stop-color="#9c20aa" offset="0"/>
<stop stop-color="#fb3570" offset="1"/>
</linearGradient>
</defs>
<rect x="5" y="5" height="100%" width="100%" style="width:calc(100% - 10px);height:calc(100% - 10px)" rx="20" ry="20" stroke-width="10" fill="transparent" stroke="url(#Gradient)"/>
</svg>
That you can apply as background:
.white-grad {
background:url('data:image/svg+xml;utf8,<svg xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" ><defs><linearGradient id="Gradient" x1="0" x2="100" y1="0" y2="0" gradientUnits="userSpaceOnUse"><stop stop-color="%239c20aa" offset="0"/><stop stop-color="%23fb3570" offset="1"/></linearGradient></defs><rect x="5" y="5" width="100%" height="100%" style="height:calc(100% - 10px);width:calc(100% - 10px)" rx="20" ry="20" stroke-width="10" fill="transparent" stroke="url(%23Gradient)"/></svg>');
color: #313149;
padding:25px;
border-radius:15px;
display:inline-block;
margin: 75px 0;
}
body {
background:yellow;
}
<div class="white-grad"> Some text here</div>
<div class="white-grad"> text very loooooooooooong here</div>
And the same way as mask where you can get the gradient outside of the SVG:
.white-grad {
color: #313149;
padding: 25px;
border-radius: 15px;
display: inline-block;
margin: 75px 0;
background-size: 0 0;
position: relative;
z-index: 0;
}
.white-grad::before {
content: "";
position: absolute;
z-index: -1;
top: 0;
left: 0;
right: 0;
bottom: 0;
background-image: inherit;
background-size: auto;
--mask: url('data:image/svg+xml;utf8,<svg xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" ><rect x="5" y="5" width="100%" height="100%" style="height:calc(100% - 10px);width:calc(100% - 10px)" rx="20" ry="20" stroke-width="10" fill="transparent" stroke="white"/></svg>');
-webkit-mask: var(--mask);
mask: var(--mask);
}
body {
background: yellow;
}
<div class="white-grad" style="background-image:linear-gradient(to right,blue,red)"> Some text here</div>
<div class="white-grad" style="background-image:linear-gradient(black,lightblue,green)"> text very loooooooooooong here</div>
<div class="white-grad" style="background-image:radial-gradient(blue,pink)"> text very<br> loooooooooooong here</div>
You can also use it as common element and consider position:absolute to place it around the text:
.white-grad {
color: #313149;
padding: 25px;
border-radius: 15px;
display: inline-block;
margin: 75px 0;
position:relative;
z-index:0;
}
.white-grad > svg {
position:absolute;
top:0;
left:0;
height:100%;
width:100%;
z-index:-1;
}
body {
background: yellow;
}
.hide {
height:0;
width:0;
}
<svg class="hide" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg"><defs><linearGradient id="Gradient" x1="0" x2="100" y1="0" y2="0" gradientUnits="userSpaceOnUse"><stop stop-color="#9c20aa" offset="0"/><stop stop-color="#fb3570" offset="1"/></linearGradient></defs><rect x="5" y="5" width="100%" height="100%" id="border" style="height:calc(100% - 10px);width:calc(100% - 10px)" rx="20" ry="20" stroke-width="10" fill="transparent" stroke="url(#Gradient)"/></svg>
<div class="white-grad">
<svg xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg">
<use href="#border" />
</svg>
Some text here</div>
<div class="white-grad">
<svg xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg">
<use href="#border" />
</svg>
text very loooooooooooong here</div>
CSS Mask method
Here is a different idea with CSS using mask where you will have transparency and it will also be responsive:
.white-grad {
color: #313149;
padding: 10px;
display: inline-block;
margin: 75px 0;
position: relative;
z-index: 0;
}
.white-grad:before {
content: "";
position: absolute;
z-index: -1;
inset: 0;
padding: 5px;
border-radius: 15px;
background: linear-gradient(to right, #9c20aa, #fb3570);
-webkit-mask:
linear-gradient(#fff 0 0) content-box,
linear-gradient(#fff 0 0);
mask:
linear-gradient(#fff 0 0) content-box,
linear-gradient(#fff 0 0);
-webkit-mask-composite: xor;
mask-composite: exclude;
}
<div class="white-grad"> Some text here</div>
<div class="white-grad"> Some long long long text here</div>
<div class="white-grad"> Some long long <br>long text here</div>
With CSS variables, we can make it easy to adjust:
.white-grad {
--b:5px; /* border width*/
--r:15px; /* the radius */
color: #313149;
padding: calc(var(--b) + 5px);
display: inline-block;
margin: 75px 0;
position:relative;
z-index:0;
}
.white-grad:before {
content: "";
position: absolute;
z-index: -1;
inset: 0;
padding: var(--b);
border-radius: var(--r);
background: var(--c,linear-gradient(to right, #9c20aa, #fb3570));
-webkit-mask:
linear-gradient(#fff 0 0) content-box,
linear-gradient(#fff 0 0);
mask:
linear-gradient(#fff 0 0) content-box,
linear-gradient(#fff 0 0);
-webkit-mask-composite: xor;
mask-composite: exclude;
}
body {
background:#f2f2f2;
}
<div class="white-grad"> Some text here</div>
<div class="white-grad" style="--r:20px;--b:10px;--c:linear-gradient(140deg,red,yellow,green)"> Some long long long text here</div>

You need to wrap the button in a div and set the border-radius on that parent div. In order to work, you will have to set overflow:hidden to that parent div as well. Like so:
.btn-wrap {
border-radius: 5px;
overflow: hidden;
margin: 20px;
width: 60px;
}
a.btn.white-grad {
background: #eee;
color: #313149 !important;
border: 20px solid #000;
border-image-source: linear-gradient(to right, #9c20aa, #fb3570);
border-image-slice: 20;
line-height: 2;
}
<div class="btn-wrap">
link
</div>
