How to create a full width triangle at the bottom? - html

I want just to do that:
However I have a lot of troubles to do it with css... Someone can help me?
This is my better try:
.flag.vertical {
background-color: #dd7758;
height: 0;
padding-bottom: 25px;
text-align: center;
color: white;
border-style: solid;
border-width: 0 10px 10px 10px;
border-color: transparent transparent white transparent;
}
<div class="flag-wrapper"><span class="flag vertical">-5%</span></div>
My doubts are about to make this white triangle on the bottom. Doesn't matter here the vertical align of the text and the font family.

Set the width to 0
.flag-wrapper{ background-color: #dd7758;
height: 0;
padding-bottom: 25px;
text-align: center;
color: white;
border-style: solid;
border-width: 20px 20px 20px 20px;
border-color: transparent transparent white transparent;
width: 0;
}
span{
margin-left:-10px
}
<div class="flag-wrapper"><span>-5%</span></div>

You can user after element for a triangle
Edit: You can use clip-path to make a shape as you want
This also solves your Another question that maybe do you know. If I want to add this div over an image, is it possible that the triangle will be transparent instead of white? comment
.flag.vertical {
background-color: #dd7758;
padding: 10px 10px 25px;
text-align: center;
color: white;
display: inline-block;
clip-path: polygon(0% 0%, 100% 0%, 100% 100%, 50% 70%, 0% 100%);
}
<div class="flag-wrapper"><span class="flag vertical">-5%</span></div>

Here is an idea with gradient where it will be responsive and you will have better support than clip path:
.flag-wrapper {
background-color: #dd7758;
padding:10px 5px 30px;
margin:10px;
text-align: center;
color: white;
display:inline-block;
background:
linear-gradient(to top left,transparent 48%,#dd7758 50%) bottom left/50% 15px,
linear-gradient(to top right,transparent 48%,#dd7758 50%) bottom right/50% 15px,
linear-gradient(#dd7758,#dd7758)top/100% calc(100% - 15px);
background-repeat:no-repeat;
}
body {
background:#ccc;
}
<div class="flag-wrapper">-5%</div>
<div class="flag-wrapper">-25%</div>
<div class="flag-wrapper">-100%</div>
You can also make it working with image as background but you lose transparency:
.flag-wrapper {
background-color: #dd7758;
padding:10px 5px 30px;
margin:10px;
text-align: center;
color: white;
display:inline-block;
background:
linear-gradient(to bottom right,transparent 48%,#ccc 50%) bottom left/50.1% 15px,
linear-gradient(to bottom left,transparent 48%,#ccc 50%) bottom right/50.1% 15px,
url(https://picsum.photos/200/300?image=1069)center/cover;
background-repeat:no-repeat;
}
body {
background:#ccc;
}
<div class="flag-wrapper">-5%</div>
<div class="flag-wrapper">-25%</div>
<div class="flag-wrapper">-100%</div>

Use the following code, you'll also be able to add enough content in your div
* {
box-sizing: border-box;
}
.flag {
width: 110px;
height: 56px;
margin: 0 auto;
padding-top: 15px;
position: relative;
background: hotpink;
color: white;
font-size: 11px;
letter-spacing: 0.2em;
text-align: center;
text-transform: uppercase;
}
.flag:after {
content: ' ';
position: absolute;
left: 0;
bottom: 0;
width: 0;
height: 0;
border-bottom: 13px solid white;
border-left: 55px solid transparent;
border-right: 55px solid transparent;
}
<div class="flag">
5 Items
</div>

You may hide bottom triangle with another div
HTML:
<div class="flag-wrapper">
-5%
<div class="pointer">
</div></div>
CSS:
.flag-wrapper{
text-align: center;
padding-top: 10px;
background-color: #dd7758;
width:50px;
height:65px;
}
.pointer{
content: ' ';
position: absolute;
width: 45px;
height: 45px;
left: 10px;
top: 54.5px;
background-color: #fcfcfc;
transform: rotate(45deg) skew(5deg, 5deg);
-moz-transform: rotate(45deg) skew(5deg, 5deg);
-ms-transform: rotate(45deg) skew(5deg, 5deg);
-o-transform: rotate(45deg) skew(5deg, 5deg);
-webkit-transform: rotate(45deg) skew(5deg, 5deg);
}

making the border for the radial gradient also

How can i make the border to apply for the radial gradient so that the dotted line will apply for the curve at left and right not as a straight line
.container {
width: 160px;
height: 58px;
border: 1px dotted red;
background: radial-gradient(15px at left, #fff 98%, red) left,
radial-gradient(15px at right, #fff 98%, red) right;
background-size: 51% 100%;
background-repeat: no-repeat;
}
<div class='container'>
</div>
I played around with your code and here is what I came up with. This is a tricky one but it works. I added 2 half circle then hide them. I don't know where are you going to use this but an image will be a good idea as well for this.
.container {
width: 160px;
height: 58px;
border: 1px dotted red;
background: radial-gradient(15px at left, #fff 98%, red) left,
radial-gradient(15px at right, #fff 98%, red) right;
background-size: 51% 100%;
background-repeat: no-repeat;
}
.half-circle-left, .half-circle-right {
width: 30px;
height: 30px;
z-index:1;
background-color: white;
vertical-align:middle;
margin-top:8%;
overflow: overlay;
}
.half-circle-left {
float: left;
margin-left: -15px;
overflow: hidden;
border-radius: 0px 15px 15px 0px;
border-right: 1px dotted red;
}
.half-circle-right {
float:right;
margin-right: -15px;
border-radius: 15px 0px 0px 15px;
border-left: 1px dotted red;
}
<div class='container'>
<div class="half-circle-left">
</div>
<div class="half-circle-right">
</div>
MY TEXT HERE! Please put more text here
</div>
As I know it is not possible, instead of using a dotted border you can use box-shadow to act like a solid border and use a pseudo-elements :after :before to draw the circle in both sides.
Here is the code:
<div class='container'>
</div>
.container {
position: relative;
overflow: hidden;
width: 160px;
height: 58px;
background: red;
box-shadow: inset 0 0 0 2px #000;
}
.container: after, .container:before {
content: '';
position: absolute;
inset-inline-start: 0;
width: 30px;
aspect-ratio: 1;
background: #ffffff;
border-radius: 100%;
inset-block-start: 50%;
transform: translateY(-50%) translateX(-50%);
box-shadow: inset 0 0 0 2px #000;
}
.container: before {
inset-inline: auto 0;
transform: translateY(-50%) translateX(50%);
}

CSS Cut corners inline-style [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.

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 {

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 */

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 make a border overlay child div?

I have to make a border overlay it's content to match the looking of this image:
And I got the big picture of it:
And I need to make that border overlay the green content. How can I accomplish it? I can't use z-index for this, as I researched. The HTML and CSS code follows:
.box-border a {
color: white;
text-transform: uppercase;
font-weight: bold;
font-size: 16px;
}
.box-border a:hover {
text-decoration: none;
color: white;
cursor: pointer;
}
.box-border-participe {
position: relative;
float: right;
margin-right: 30%;
border: 4px solid white;
}
.box-participe {
background-color: #94C120;
padding: 10px 40px;
margin-left: 5px;
margin-top: 5px;
margin-bottom: -20px;
margin-right: -20px;
}
body {
background:grey;
}
<div class="box-border box-border-participe">
<div class="box-participe">
<a>Participe</a>
</div>
</div>
You can consider the use of pseudo element to create the border and avoid extra markup. You can also easily control its position/size:
body {
background: grey;
}
.button {
background: #94c120;
width: 200px;
height: 50px;
margin: 50px;
position: relative;
}
.button:before {
content: "";
position: absolute;
top: -15px;
left: -15px;
width: 100%;
height: 100%;
border: 5px solid #fff;
box-sizing: border-box;
}
<div class="button">
some text
</div>
Here is also another idea using linear-gradient and multiple background:
body {
background:grey;
}
.button {
width: 200px;
height: 80px;
margin: 50px;
padding:20px 0 0 20px;
box-sizing:border-box;
background:
linear-gradient(to right,#fff 5px,transparent 5px calc(100% - 5px),#fff calc(100% - 5px)) 0 0/ calc(100% - 10px) calc(100% - 10px),
linear-gradient(to bottom,#fff 5px,transparent 5px calc(100% - 5px),#fff calc(100% - 5px)) 0 0/ calc(100% - 10px) calc(100% - 10px),
linear-gradient(#94c120,#94c120) 15px 15px;
background-repeat:no-repeat;
}
<div class="button">
some text
</div>
Another syntax with gradient:
body {
background:grey;
}
.button {
width: 200px;
height: 80px;
margin: 50px;
padding:20px 0 0 20px;
box-sizing:border-box;
background:
linear-gradient(#fff,#fff) left -10px top 0 /100% 5px,
linear-gradient(#fff,#fff) top -10px left 0 /5px 100%,
linear-gradient(#fff,#fff) left -10px bottom 10px/100% 5px,
linear-gradient(#fff,#fff) top -10px right 10px/5px 100%,
linear-gradient(#94c120,#94c120) 20px 20px;
background-repeat:no-repeat;
}
<div class="button">
some text
</div>
Another idea using background and box-shadow:
body {
background:grey;
}
.button {
width: 200px;
height: 80px;
margin: 50px;
padding:15px 0 0 15px;
box-sizing:border-box;
background: #94c120 content-box;
border:5px solid #fff;
box-shadow: 20px 20px 0px #94c120; /* value of padding + border*/
}
<div class="button">
some text
</div>

How to create a div with angled corners in CSS

I need to create div with angled corners (not rounded) with 2px border-width at my div:
I need a CSS-only solution
.center-link {

.continue {

background-color: transparent;
margin: 0 auto;
padding: 10px 10px 9px;
font-family: 'Raleway';
text-transform: uppercase;
font-size: 11px;
font-weight: bold;
color: #26368d;
transition: all 0.5s ease;
}
<div class="center-link">Продолжить читать</div>
You could take a loook at gradient or single pixel image and background properties, background-size will help to draw the shapes
body {
text-align:center;
}
a {
display:inline-block;
text-decoration:none;
color:inherit;/* will use parent color if not reset */
margin:1em;
padding:0.5em 1em;
background: /* lets draw the background image via current color if text color is to be matched */
linear-gradient(45deg, transparent 0.5em, currentcolor 0.5em, currentcolor calc(0.5em + 2px), transparent calc(0.5em + 2px)),
linear-gradient(-45deg, transparent 0.5em, currentcolor 0.5em, currentcolor calc(0.5em + 2px), transparent calc(0.5em + 2px)),linear-gradient(225deg, transparent 0.5em, currentcolor 0.5em, currentcolor calc(0.5em + 2px), transparent calc(0.5em + 2px)),linear-gradient(-225deg, transparent 0.5em, currentcolor 0.5em, currentcolor calc(0.5em + 2px), transparent calc(0.5em + 2px)),
linear-gradient(to left, currentcolor, currentcolor) top no-repeat,
linear-gradient(to left, currentcolor, currentcolor) bottom no-repeat,
linear-gradient(to top, currentcolor, currentcolor) left no-repeat,
linear-gradient(to top, currentcolor, currentcolor) right no-repeat;
/* resize gradient/image in order to draw pieces needed */
background-size:
auto auto,
auto auto,
auto auto,
auto auto,
calc(100% - 1em - 6px ) 2px,
calc(100% - 1em - 6px) 2px,
2px calc(100% - 1em - 6px ),
2px calc(100% - 1em - 6px)
;
}
/* find out the purpose of currentcolor here */
:nth-child(1) {

:nth-child(2) {

}
:nth-child(3) {

:nth-child(4) {

:nth-child(5) {

/* increase size via padding ? */
:nth-child(6) {

Demo pen to play with
You could use two span's for left and right border and then use :before and :after on those spans to create corners.
a {
text-decoration: none;
white-space: nowrap;
margin: 10px;
}
.el {
display: inline-flex;
align-items: center;
justify-content: space-between;
border-top: 1px solid black;
border-bottom: 1px solid black;
margin: 50px;
position: relative;
}
span {
height: 20px;
position: relative;
}
span.left {
border-left: 1px solid black;
}
span.right {
border-right: 1px solid black;
}
.left {
margin-left: -10px;
}
.right {
margin-right: -10px;
}
span:before,
span:after {
content: '';
position: absolute;
width: 1px;
background: black;
height: 15px;
}
.left:before {
transform: rotate(40deg);
top: -13px;
left: 4px;
}
.left:after {
transform: rotate(-40deg);
bottom: -13px;
left: 4px;
}
.right:before {
transform: rotate(-40deg);
top: -13px;
right: 4px;
}
.right:after {
transform: rotate(42deg);
bottom: -13px;
left: -5px;
}
<div class="el">
<span class="left"></span>
Lorem ipsum dolor.
<span class="right"></span>
</div>
You should be able to keep a hit test accurate by using a skew along with a perspective, allowing you to create this bevelled button without affecting the user experience.
Something like adding:
transform: perspective(25px) rotateY(45deg);
A quick demo would be:
button {
border: 0;
border-top: 5px solid tomato;
border-bottom: 5px solid tomato;
color: tomato;
margin-left: 20px;
margin-right: 20px;
background: transparent;
padding: 10px;
outline: none;
padding-left: 50px;
padding-right: 50px;
position: relative;
cursor: pointer;
}
button:before {
content: "";
position: absolute;
top: -5px;
left: 100%;
height: 100%;
width: 20px;
background: inherit;
transform: perspective(25px) rotateY(45deg);
transform-origin: center left;
border-top: 5px solid tomato;
border-right: 8px solid tomato;
border-bottom: 5px solid tomato;
}
button:after {
content: "";
position: absolute;
top: -5px;
right: 100%;
height: 100%;
width: 20px;
background: inherit;
transform: perspective(25px) rotateY(-45deg);
transform-origin: center right;
border-top: 5px solid tomato;
border-left: 8px solid tomato;
border-bottom: 5px solid tomato;
}
<button>Button</button>
As a side note, this solution can be shortened and made a lot more efficient by placing the duplicate rules within a single selector (button:before, button:after{})

Cut Corners using CSS

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>
http://jsfiddle.net/2bZAW/
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.

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;
}

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);
}
See it on CodePen

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 {

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

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;
}

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.

Here is the CSS:
.triangleOne {
height: 50px;
width: 40px;
background: red;
border-radius: 5px 0px 0px 5px;
position: absolute;
}
.triangleOneCut {
content: '';
position: absolute;
top: 0; left: 40px;
border-top: 10px solid transparent;
border-left: 10px solid red;
width: 0;
}
.triangleOneFill {
content: '';
position: absolute;
top: 10px; left: 40px;
width: 10px;
height: 40px;
background-color: red;
border-radius: 0px 0px 5px 0px;
}
.container {
position: relative;
height: 50px;
width: 50px;
display: inline-block;
z-index: 3;
}
.container2 {
position: relative;
height: 50px;
width: 50px;
display: inline-block;
left: -10px;
z-index: 2;
}
.container3 {
position: relative;
height: 50px;
width: 50px;
display: inline-block;
left: -20px;
z-index: 1;
}
.blue {
background-color: blue;
}
.green {
background-color: green;
}
.blueCut {
border-left: 10px solid blue;
}
.greenCut {
border-left: 10px solid green;
}
.folders {
width: 160px;
height: 50px;
/* border: 10px solid white; */
margin: auto;
padding-left: 25px;
margin-top: 100px;
}
.folderNames {
text-align: right;
padding-left: 2px;
color: white;
margin-top: 1.5px;
font-family: monospace;
font-size: 6.5px;
border-bottom: double 1.5px white;
}
Here's a solution for if you don't want a solid-color background, i.e. just a border with square-cut corners.
.container {
width: 100px;
height: 100px;
background-color: white;
border: 1px solid black;
position: relative;
}
.border {
position: absolute;
width: 100%;
height: 100%;
}
.border:before {
content: '';
position: absolute;
border-top: 15px solid white;
border-left: 15px solid white;
width: 0;
}
.border:after {
content: '';
position: absolute;
width: 16px;
height: 1px;
background: black;
}
.tl:before { top: -5px; left: -5px; transform: rotate(-45deg); }
.tl:after { top: 5px; left: -3px; transform: rotate(-45deg);}
.tr:before { top: -5px; right: -5px; transform: rotate(45deg); }
.tr:after { top: 5px; right: -3px; transform: rotate(45deg); }
.bl:before { bottom: -5px; left: -5px; transform: rotate(45deg); }
.bl:after { bottom: 5px; left: -3px; transform: rotate(45deg); }
.br:before { bottom: -5px; right: -5px; transform: rotate(-45deg); }
.br:after { bottom: 5px; right: -3px; transform: rotate(-45deg); }
