I'm wondering if there is a css only solution to display a link button like the one below. Any advises?
You can simply use pseudo elements and some border property then adjust the different values to get what you want:
.link {
padding: 10px;
display: inline-block;
width: 80px;
border-top: 1px solid #000;
border-bottom: 1px solid #000;
text-align: center;
position: relative;
overflow: hidden;
}
.link:before,.link:after {
content: "";
position: absolute;
height: 30px;
width: 30px;
border: 1px solid #000;
left: -19px;
top: 3px;
background: #fff;
transform: rotate(45deg);
transform-origin: center;
}
.link:after {
right: -19px;
left:auto;
}

I am finding that applying a transform:skewX() to an element blurs its poition vertically(!) in Firefox. Does anyone know why, or how to fix this?
HTML
<div id="tab"><span>Tab</span></div>
<div id="content">Content</div>
CSS
#tab {
display: inline-block;
margin-left: 2em;
position: relative;
width: 3em;
text-align:center;
padding: .375em 0 0.125em;
}
#tab span {
position: relative;
z-index: 10;
}
#tab:before,
#tab:after {
position: absolute;
content: '';
top: 0;
width: 60%;
height: 100%;
border-top: 2px solid #999999;
background-color: #ffffff;
z-index: 1;
}
#tab:before {
left: 0;
transform: skewX(-20deg);
border-left: 2px solid #999999;
border-top-left-radius: 6px;
}
#tab:after {
right: 0;
transform: skewX(20deg);
border-right: 2px solid #999999;
border-top-right-radius: 6px;
}
#content {
border: 2px solid #999999;
border-radius: 6px;
padding: 4px;
margin-top: 0px;
}
The result is as below (zoomed image). Note the #content box's border showing through where they don't overlap, and the fuzziness at the top of the tab (both above and below the 2px width). By comparrison, when removing the skewX() for a straight tab, the border becomes pixel-perfect.
Is there any way to force the element's vertical pixel-alignment when it is subjected to a skewX() transform?
I want to recreate the button and the border around the League of Legends Play For Free button.
The problem for me is recreating that border with the cut corners. I do not need the animations.
After inspecting their page elements, I could not find any elements responsible for them, and they do not seem to be using CSS to achieve this. I tried turning off a lot of the CSS, and they seem to persist on the page. Could someone please enlighten me on how they are making these borders, or how I can achieve this with pure CSS?
Do you mean a button like the one in this example?
https://codepen.io/awesammcoder/pen/RYVwxa
body {
background: #333;
}
.button {
font-size: 12pt;
color: white;
background: transparent;
display: inline-block;
text-decoration: none;
padding: 10px 20px;
border: 3px solid white;
margin: 20px;
position: relative;
letter-spacing: 1px;
outline: none;
}
.button:before {
content: '';
width: 20px;
height: 20px;
background: #333;
border: 3px solid white;
transform: rotate(45deg);
position: absolute;
border-top: 0;
border-left: 0;
border-bottom: 0;
top: -12px;
left: -13px;
}
.button:after {
content: '';
width: 20px;
height: 20px;
background: #333;
border: 3px solid white;
transform: rotate(-132deg);
position: absolute;
border-top: 0;
border-left: 0;
border-bottom: 0;
top: auto;
right: -13px;
bottom: -12px;
}
<button class="button">Play now</button>
I was wondering whether it is possible to extend pseudo elements with another pseudo element. I tried the following, but it didn't work.
li {
float: left;
text-align: center;
list-style-type: none;
position: relative;
padding: 12px 6px 0 6px;
&:before {
content: "";
position: absolute;
top: 0;
right: 50%;
border-top: 1px solid #ccc;
width: 50%;
height: 12px;
}
&:after{
#extend &:before;
right: auto;
left: 50%;
border-left: 1px solid #ccc;
}
}
One way you could do it would be to create a placeholder. Like so..
%pseudo-block {
content: "";
position: absolute;
top: 0;
right: 50%;
border-top: 1px solid #ccc;
width: 50%;
height: 12px;
}
li {
float: left;
text-align: center;
list-style-type: none;
position: relative;
padding: 12px 6px 0 6px;
&:before {
#extend %pseudo-block;
}
&:after{
#extend %pseudo-block;
right: auto;
left: 50%;
border-left: 1px solid #ccc;
}
}
My question is similar to this question: Arrow Box with CSS But instead of only 1 box I need to align several boxes. And still be able to see the arrow on all boxes.
In this example: http://jsfiddle.net/casperskovgaard/LHHzt/1/ I have created two arrow boxes that float to the left. The problem is that the arrow on the first box is not visible.
How do I make the arrow visible?
HTML:
<div class="arrow"></div>
<div class="arrow"></div>
CSS:
.arrow {
float: left;
width: 128px;
height: 100px;
background-color: #f0f0f0;
border: 1px solid #999;
position: relative;
}
.arrow:after {
content: '';
position: absolute;
top: 0px;
left: 128px;
width: 0;
height: 0;
border: 50px solid transparent;
border-left: 12px solid #f0f0f0;
}
.arrow:before {
content: '';
position: absolute;
top: 0px;
left: 129px;
width: 0;
height: 0;
border: 50px solid transparent;
border-left: 12px solid #999;
}
EDIT:
The first arrow must overlap the box to the right. See solution from artSx: http://jsfiddle.net/LHHzt/6/ Only thing missing from this solution is that it should be possible to add several (more than two) boxes
if you change the z-index of the after psudeo element to 2 and then the before element to 1 then it should work as you intend:
.arrow {
float: left;
width: 128px;
height: 100px;
background-color: #f0f0f0;
border: 1px solid #999;
position: relative;
margin-right:15px;
}
.arrow:after {
content: '';
position: absolute;
top: 0px;
left: 128px;
width: 0;
height: 0;
border: 50px solid transparent;
border-left: 12px solid #f0f0f0;
}
.arrow:before {
content: '';
position: absolute;
top: 0px;
left: 129px;
width: 0;
height: 0;
border: 50px solid transparent;
border-left: 12px solid #999;
}
http://jsfiddle.net/peteng/LHHzt/15/
add this :
.arrow:first-child{
z-index:10;
}
JsFiddle with correction
Just add a z-indexto your .arrow:before. Here is the live version http://jsfiddle.net/LHHzt/13/
.arrow:before {
content: '';
position: absolute;
top: 0px;
left: 129px;
width: 0;
height: 0;
z-index:2;
border: 50px solid transparent;
border-left: 12px solid #999;
}
Works with as many box as you want :)
try this
http://jsfiddle.net/casperskovgaard/LHHzt/1/
.arrow {
width: 128px;
height: 100px;
background-color: #f0f0f0;
border: 1px solid #999;
position: relative;
}
.arrow:after {
content: '';
position: absolute;
top: 0px;
left: 128px;
width: 0;
height: 0;
border: 50px solid transparent;
border-left: 12px solid #f0f0f0;
}
.arrow:before {
content: '';
position: absolute;
top: 0px;
left: 129px;
width: 0;
height: 0;
border: 50px solid transparent;
border-left: 12px solid #999;
}
Just add a margin to the arrow...
.arrow {
float: left;
width: 128px;
height: 100px;
background-color: #f0f0f0;
border: 1px solid #999;
position: relative;
margin-right: 15px;
}
http://jsfiddle.net/LHHzt/11/
Or change z-index to display above if you want them to overlay
Just adding a margin to the arrow resolves the problem.
See this JSFiddle : http://jsfiddle.net/LHHzt/9/
I just added a
margin-right: 15px;
I would like to create this using only CSS. Is this possible? If so, can you guys help me out?
Fairly easy with borders and a pseudo element:
ALL
#button::after {
content: "";
border: 64px solid transparent;
border-top: 12px solid orange;
position: absolute;
top: 29px;
left: 0;
}
DEMO
Try to experiment with this basic button:
.btn {
width: 100px;
height: 30px;
text-align: center;
border: 0;
}
.btn-arrow {
position: relative;
background: coral;
}
.btn-arrow:after {
border: solid transparent;
content:"";
position: absolute;
border-top-color: coral;
border-width: 16px 50px;
left: 0px;
top: 100%;
margin-top: 0px;
}
http://jsfiddle.net/dfsq/tNjCb/1/
how about something like the following:
http://jsfiddle.net/WDCu3/
<div id="test">Testing</div>
<div id="arrow"></div>
#test {background-color:red; width:100px;}
div {text-align:center;}
#arrow {
border-top: 15px solid red;
border-left: 50px solid transparent;
border-right: 50px solid transparent;
height: 0;
width:0;
}
