Div/Button with a circle shaped container to the left of it - css

Can I ask a little help about creating that shape with CSS?
The button needs a circle for the icon, and the simple box for the text.

Here is a possible version using the :before pseudo element. The pseudo element is converted into a circle by using border-radius: 50% and is then positioned before the rectangular div#menu as required.
You can add a image (like the one in question) to the pseudo element by using the content property like shown below:
content: url(http://yoursite.com/yourimage.png);
or using the background-image property also:
background-image: url(http://yoursite.com/yourimage.png);
#menu {
position: relative;
width: 100px;
height: 24px;
line-height: 24px;
color: white;
background-color: peru;
border: 1px solid peru;
border-radius: 2px;
padding-left: 24px;
}
#menu:before {
position: absolute;
content: '';
height: 40px;
width: 40px;
top: -9px; /* (height of parent - height of pseudo) / 2 - border-top of parent for vertical mid */
/* top: -17px; (height of parent - height of pseudo) - border-top of parent for bottom align */
left: -24px; /* some value less than width - depends on amount of overlap needed */
border: 1px solid transparent;
background-image: url(http://lorempixel.com/40/40/people/1);
background-color: peru;
border-radius: 50%;
}
/* Just for demo */
* {
font-family: Calibri;
letter-spacing: 2px;
}
#menu {
margin: 25px;
}
<div id='menu'>Menu Text</div>
Note: This is in essence a different version of the answer posted by Jason Gennaro. If you need support for IE lower versions, use his answer because they don't support :before.

Here's a quick and dirty version:
HTML
<div id="circle"></div>
<div id="rectangle">Header Text</div>
CSS
#circle{
border-radius: 50%;
width: 85px;
height: 85px;
background: brown;
float:left;
}
#rectangle{
width:300px;
height:40px;
background:brown;
color:white;
float:left;
margin-top:20px;
margin-left:-40px;
position:relative;
z-index:-1;
padding-left:60px;
padding-top:6px;
font-family:arial;
font-size:2em;
}

Explanation
use border-radius:50% and any width to create a circle.
float the two divs to allow for the overlap
use position and z-index to place the rectangle under the circle
add the logo image as necessary in the #circle

Control which border position sets the corner pixels in CSS

Imagine the following CSS:
#foo {
border: 1px solid black;
border-right: 1px solid blue;
}
In this case, at least under Chrome, the top and bottom right corner pixels of the element are blue, not black. Is it possible to make them black?
You can't do it with the normal CSS border options, but if you want to, you can still have a pure CSS solution:
Basically, what you are going to do is create two pseudo elements with CSS, and cover the corners:
#foo {
border: 100px solid black;
border-right: 100px solid blue;
height:300px;
position:relative;
}
#foo:after, #foo:before{
content:'';
background:black;
width:100px;
height:100px;
display:block;
position:absolute;
}
#foo:after{
bottom:-100px;
right:-100px;
}
#foo:before{
top:-100px;
right:-100px;
}
It might be a little messy, but it works. Set the :after and :before elements width height and position to the width of the border.
And that gives this effect:
JSFiddle Demo
I hope my crappy photoshop skills explain borders to you.
If you look in the 4 corners of the square you can see little lines, thats where one border starts and the next one begins.
This will always be in issue :P
You could either make it a background image (crappy way)
or you can use other divs to make the borders (crappy as well)
The first solution would be using a pseudo-element, which you will position absolutely to cover the right border. In order to ensure that it covers the border entirely, you will have to offset its top, bottom and right positions by the negative value of the border width. In this case I have used a width of 5px to better illustrate the example:
#foo {
background-color: #eee;
border: 5px solid grey;
width: 100px;
height: 100px;
position: relative;
}
#foo::before {
content: '';
position: absolute;
top: -5px;
bottom: -5px;
right: -5px; /* move by border width */
background-color: blue;
width: 5px;
}
<div id="foo"></div>
Alternatively, you can use CSS box shadow:
#foo {
background-color: #eee;
box-shadow: inset 0 0 0 5px grey;
width: 100px;
height: 100px;
position: relative;
}
#foo::before {
content: '';
position: absolute;
top: 0;
bottom: 0;
right: 0;
width: 5px;
background-color: blue;
}
<div id="foo"></div>
As others have pointed out, your problem is how borders are drawn in CSS.
<div id="foo">Problem</div>
#foo {
border: 30px solid black;
border-right: 30px solid blue;
}
The simplest way to work around this is to use a pseudo element. Since this workaround is entirely dependent on the value of the border-width, I’ll show an example using an SCSS variable to help make it clear where that width value is coming in.
Note: You don’t need SCSS to solve this problem, using a variable just helps readability/maintainability.
HTML:
<div id="foo"></div>
SCSS:
/* Set SCSS variable */
$border-width: 30px;
#foo {
border: $border-width solid black;
position: relative; /* anchor the absolute positioned ::after element */
}
#foo:after {
content: '';
background: blue;
width: $border-width;
height: 100%;
position: absolute;
right: -$border-width;
}
Demo: http://jsbin.com/cimaxe/6
Hopefully it’s clear that everywhere you see $border-width you can replace it with a value like 30px.

CSS Border with a botton

Can I achieve a custom CSS border with a button at one end which looks like this
Without url(some image link)?
Note: I want so because when I want to change color, I have to manipulate image.
I have achieved using image JS Fiddle
#stretch {
border-image: url(http://akitech.org/img/border.png) 30 30 stretch;
}
The easiest way is to use CSS pseudo-elements to create the decoration (the circle at the left) and to mask the chamfer at the right of the border (the angle at which the border-right would otherwise meet):
div {
border: 10px solid transparent;
width: 250px;
padding: 10px 20px;
position: relative;
/* this property has to be set to change the border-color: */
border-bottom-color: #f90;
}
/* common shared styles: */
div::before,
div::after {
/* to ensure the pseudo-elements are rendered: */
content: '';
/* for positioning: */
position: absolute;
/* positioning the element with its uppermost edge
against the bottom of the element, against the
upper side of the bottom-border: */
top: 100%;
/* again, set to change the color of the ends: */
background-color: #f90;
}
div::before {
/* position against the left edge: */
left: 0;
/* move the pseudo element 10px up, and
10px left: */
margin: -10px 0 0 -10px;
height: 30px;
width: 30px;
/* making the pseudo-element a circle: */
border-radius: 50%;
}
/* masking the chamfer of the border-bottom's
right-most edge: */
div::after {
left: 100%;
/* making the height/width the same width
as the border itself: */
height: 10px;
width: 10px;
}
div {
border: 10px solid transparent;
width: 250px;
padding: 10px 20px;
position: relative;
border-bottom-color: #f90;
}
div::before,
div::after {
content: '';
position: absolute;
top: 100%;
background-color: #f90;
}
div::before {
left: 0;
margin: -10px 0 0 -10px;
height: 30px;
width: 30px;
border-radius: 50%;
}
div::after {
left: 100%;
height: 10px;
width: 10px;
}
<div id="stretch">Here, the image is stretched to fill the area.</div>
In order to have these borders adapt to the length of the text, either the elements you want to have custom-bordered must themselves be able to contract to the width of the text, either using float:
div {
border: 10px solid transparent;
position: relative;
border-bottom-color: #f90;
padding-left: 20px;
/* forces the element to take up only that space required by
its (non-floated) contents: */
float: left;
/* forces the floated elements to the next line: */
clear: left;
}
div {
border: 10px solid transparent;
position: relative;
border-bottom-color: #f90;
padding-left: 20px;
float: left;
clear: left;
}
div::before,
div::after {
content: '';
position: absolute;
top: 100%;
background-color: #f90;
}
div::before {
left: 0;
margin: -10px 0 0 -10px;
height: 30px;
width: 30px;
border-radius: 50%;
}
div::after {
left: 100%;
height: 10px;
width: 10px;
}
<div>text</div>
<div>longer text</div>
<div>much longer text</div>
<div>much much much longer text</div>
Or, possibly more simply, use display: inline-block:
div {
border: 10px solid transparent;
position: relative;
border-bottom-color: #f90;
padding-left: 20px;
display: inline-block;
}
div {
border: 10px solid transparent;
position: relative;
border-bottom-color: #f90;
padding-left: 20px;
display: inline-block;
}
div::before,
div::after {
content: '';
position: absolute;
top: 100%;
background-color: #f90;
}
div::before {
left: 0;
margin: -10px 0 0 -10px;
height: 30px;
width: 30px;
border-radius: 50%;
}
div::after {
left: 100%;
height: 10px;
width: 10px;
}
<div>text</div>
<div>longer text</div>
<div>much longer text</div>
<div>much much much longer text</div>
Or display: inline (these don't automatically force new-lines between elements, obviously):
div {
border: 10px solid transparent;
position: relative;
border-bottom-color: #f90;
padding-left: 20px;
display: inline;
}
div {
border: 10px solid transparent;
position: relative;
border-bottom-color: #f90;
padding-left: 20px;
display: inline;
}
div::before,
div::after {
content: '';
position: absolute;
top: 100%;
background-color: #f90;
}
div::before {
left: 0;
margin: -10px 0 0 -10px;
height: 30px;
width: 30px;
border-radius: 50%;
}
div::after {
left: 100%;
height: 10px;
width: 10px;
}
<div>text</div>
<div>longer text</div>
<div>much longer text</div>
<div>much much much longer text</div>
summary:
for simplist way to this question, should not using svg, pure css can draw the shape author expected very well cause it's a combination of cycle(border radius)+rect(thicker line), let's refer to the David's answer should be the easiest and most clean way to draw that shape under text.
//below is my debugging history and tries (i searched out many ways to approach it);
//though not good answers
I use background css attribute (not OP wanted) Op used border-image also valid.
<div class="custom-border" >SOME TEXT HERE</div>
<style>
.custom-border{
padding-left:20px;
width:200px;
background:url(http://img1.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20140224040010/shantae/images/b/bc/HGH_border_bottom.png) 0px 5px no-repeat;
background-size:contain;
height:150px;
}
</style>
later I realized OP might dislike using image traditional way, I re understand the
question is asking how to draw that shape in pure css and place it under the text and the responsive should be as flexible as the traditional way the svg shape will auto strech with the text placed on it.
after that, I've find some way to generate svg and place under text
see if it works for no image solution or you can get it improved based on fiddle
http://jsfiddle.net/hahatey/hsfxS/1464/
during the process, i've found this useful tool of generating svg from below reference url: http://svg-edit.googlecode.com/svn/branches/2.6/editor/svg-editor.html
But the flaw is it's still a fixed width solution, the line svg won't auto stretch.
Have found a unclean way to improve auto stretch though not in pure css responsive way.
but auto strech can be done by dynamically change below line
<rect stroke="#ff0000" id="svg_2" height="8" width="100%" y="27" x="40" stroke-width="5" fill="#FF0000"/>
where width="100%" or fixed value => width="function return value"; //
// during this try, i found a little bug, jquery seems unable to select svg or element inside svg? however svg element tag attribute can be written in backend languge so still valid.
//3.44
Another way without touching the inner "rect' element below "svg" tag, is to add a container to the whole thing, and using function to dynamically
assign width for the container;
like my attempt in this
fiddle: http://jsfiddle.net/hahatey/hsfxS/1468/
so at least the width can be dynamically calculated out by a function to calculate the text length of the upper text so the line will be able to strech if the calculation is accurate enough. There could be other ways to do svg auto strech with the text using pure css if other ppl find it.
Thanks.
5.02// since the author didn't say how complex the content is inside the container,
I've created a demo in pure css triggered effct --- auto strech the shape along with the text above it in below fiddle. but i said it sure has many limitations though looks similar.
http://jsfiddle.net/hahatey/a9z1kyx7/
my upper fiddle is only able to align correctly for singleline auto strech
I'm wondering if complex content (more than one line, there maybe a lot of block,inline mixed tag element inside which increases complexity for alignment) can also use css to do such decoration width auto adjustment without touching javascript or backend language.

Creating concentric circles in CSS

I am trying to create a bunch of concentric circles purely using CSS. Here's my CSS:
.inner-circle{
height: inherit;
width: inherit;
background: #FFF;
border: 1px solid #1a1a1a;
border-radius: 50%;
padding: 5px;
margin: 1%;
}
My attempt so far is here: http://jsfiddle.net/4yL2m/
However, as you can see in the link, I am only able to create ellipses according to the width and height of the canvas area. Can anyone suggest how to draw perfect concentric circles by nesting the same div within itself?
I can't see any way around specifying exact dimensions (with equal width/height) for the outermost circle. You can give it its own class
<div class="inner-two container">
.container {
width: 100px;
height: 100px;
margin: 1%;
}
The inner circles will be concentric with borders/padding if they are set to box-sizing: border-box since the border/padding will be included in the dimensions. margin is not included in this and is thus undesirable. You also need to specify height: 100%.
http://jsfiddle.net/4yL2m/8/
Note that the containing div does not also have to be one of the circle divs; it just can be.
Note in order to use it for firefox you need to set -moz-box-sizing: border-box; as well as boxing-sizing: border-box;.
Basically, you need to get the aspect ratio fixed at 1:1. Apparently there's an aspect-ratio CSS attribute that webkit browsers recognize, but it won't work cross-platform. See this question for more details, including some cross-browser workarounds.
This might get you closer;
.inner-two{
height: 0px;
width: 50%;
background: #FFF;
border: 1px solid #1a1a1a;
border-radius: 50%;
padding-bottom: 50%;
margin:25%;
}
Just add :
display: table-cell;
text-align: center;
vertical-align: middle;
Three concentric circles
Here I have drawn 3 circles using CSS. The middle circle is exactly centered between the outermost and innermost circle. In other words the
RADIUS OF THE MIDDLE CIRCLE = (OUTER CIRCLE RADIUS + INNER CIRCLE RADIUS) / 2.
Here each circles has been represented by a DIV.
HTML
<div class="parent">
<div class="child1">
</div>
<div class="child2">
</div>
</div>
CSS
<style>
.parent {
background-color:blue;
width:400px; /* You can define it by % also */
height:400px; /* You can define it by % also*/
position:relative;
border:1px solid black;
border-radius: 50%;
}
.child1 {
background-color:lime;
top: 10%; left:10%; /* of the container */
width:80%; /* of the outer-1 */
height:80%; /* of the outer-1 */
position: absolute;
border:1px solid black;
border-radius: 50%;
}
.child2 {
background-color:yellow;
top: 20%; left:20%; /* of the container */
width:60%; /* of the inner-1 */
height:60%; /* of the inner-1 */
position: absolute;
border:1px solid black;
border-radius: 50%;
}
</style>

center element within another, while parent specifies position: absolute?

I'm working with this JS Fiddle: http://jsfiddle.net/BY3tz/1/
Notice when you remove the position, left, and top properties from the dotParent CSS class, the black dot is centered within the box.
I'm looking for a way to keep the black dot centered (vertically and horizontally) while leaving the 3 properties mentioned above in place so that I can change the left and top properties to position the box anywhere, and the black dot will remain centered.
Is this possible? Can anyone see what I'm doing wrong with my dot class?
Some tweaks to the .dot class:
.dot {
position: absolute;
width: 10px;
height: 10px;
border-radius: 50px;
margin-left: -5px; // Half of the width * (-1)
margin-top: -5px; // Half of the height * (-1)
top: 50%;
left: 50%;
background: #000;
-webkit-border-radius: 50px;
-webkit-background-clip: padding-box;
background-clip: padding-box;
}
http://jsfiddle.net/BY3tz/2/
Added dot wrapper so .dot is relative to new wrapper,
<div class="dotParent">
<div class="dot-wrapper">
<div class="dot"></div>
</div><!-- end dot-wrapper -->
</div>
New Styles.
.dot-wrapper {
position:relative;
width:100%;
height:100%;
}
Added to .dot class
.dot {
position:absolute;
top:45%;
left:45%;
}
http://jsfiddle.net/BY3tz/5/
Change the position attribute in the dotParent div to "Relative". Since its the parent Div, it needs to be positioned as Relative in order for its children to take it as a reference point.
.dotParent {
position: relative;
top: 150px;
left: 50px;
height: 68px;
width: 68px;
border: 1px solid Black;
}

CSS clip corners?

Is there a simple way to style element like this?
Supposed to be used on a mobile so CSS3 is fully available. Can't think of a simple way. Images are out of question.
It has to be this blocky and there supposed to be a text within (this is a blocky 8-bit button)
This jumps off of feeela's beginnings, but it's different enough to warrant its own answer.
Rather than putting a colored block overly, it only adds red-colored elements, allowing background to show through. HOWEVER, to calculate it properly (so that they're square corners!) I had to set a fixed width height. There's probably some sort of wacky way to do this with percentages, but for proof of concept it was too headachey to contemplate. Since the requirement is for fixed height variable width, this should work.
The pseudo-elements need to have content or they will "collapse". The content can be empty, but that property needs to be set.
CSS:
/* main button block */
.button {
display:inline-block;
background: #f00;
position: relative;
line-height: 60px;
text-align: center;
padding: 0 20px;
height: 60px;
margin-left: 0.5em;
}
/* common background color to all */
.button, .button::before, .button::after {
background-color: #f00;
}
/* shared styles to make left and right lines */
.button::before, .button::after {
content: "";
position: absolute;
height: 50px;
width: 5px;
top: 5px;
}
/* pull the left 'line' out to the left */
.button::before {
left: -5px;
}
/* pull the right 'line' out to the right */
.button::after {
right: -5px;
}
​
Fiddle: http://jsfiddle.net/3R9c5/2/
How about this?
HTML:
<div class="block">(text goes here)</div>
CSS:
body {background:#1990D7;}
.block {background:#FF1200; line-height:52px; margin:8px auto; width:359px;
position:relative; text-align:center; font-weight:bold; color:yellow}
.block::before {display:inline-block; background:#FF1200; content:'';
position:absolute; top:4px; left:-4px; bottom:4px; width:4px;}
.block::after {display:inline-block; background:#FF1200; content:'';
position:absolute; top:4px; right:-4px; bottom:4px; width:4px;}
Edit: updated after the latest insights into the demands of the question.
You can insert each of that four blocky-corners by appending pseudo elements via ::before or ::after.
e.g.:
.button {
background: #f00;
position: relative;
}
/* corner top left */
.button::after {
position: absolute;
top: 0; left: 0;
width: 5px; height: 5px;
background: #00f;
}
/* corner top right */
.button::after {
position: absolute;
top: 0; right: 0;
width: 5px; height: 5px;
background: #00f;
}
/* corner bottom left */
/* … */
The CSS border-radius attribute
maybe this will help you. Or you can just add new class, "cadre" for example
.cadre
{
border-radius: 10px;
}
to your css file, then affect it to the div.
I don't think border-radius can accomplish that. This is the simplest way I can think of:
http://jsfiddle.net/DpLdt/
CSS:
body {
background:blue;
}
div#clipcorners {
width:500px;
height:200px;
background:red;
position:relative;
margin:100px auto;
}
span#a,span#b {
position:absolute;
width:10px;
height:180px;
top:10px;
background:red;
}
span#a {
left:-10px;
}
span#b {
right:-10px;
}
​
HTML:
<div id="clipcorners">
<span id="a">
</span>
<span id="b">
</span>
</div>​
