Registration Process Bar CSS3 animation - html

What is a good way to implement this feature?
<div class="container">
<h2>Basic Progress Bar</h2>
<div class="progress">
<div class="progress-bar" role="progressbar" aria-valuenow="70" aria-valuemin="0" aria-valuemax="100" style="width:50%">
<span class="sr-only">70% Complete</span>
</div>
</div>
</div>
Should I add those numbers on the progress-bar as photos?
or I should draw the circle by CSS3? If so, could anyone provide an example?

Below is a quick live demo of how one could start creating this type of visual in CSS. This example is quick and dirty, so to adapt it for production I would recommend simplifying some of the CSS and possibly generating the HTML using JavaScript and maybe some CSS pseudoelements. Then I would look into animating the colors using CSS animations. This is just to give you an idea of how it could be done, and maybe spark some ideas.
Screenshot of the result:
Live Demo:

Let's create something clean and beautiful!
The end result:
The HTML
This is a good place for an ordered list. All we need is this:
<ol>
<li class="complete">Personal</li>
<li class="complete">Profile</li>
<li>Experience</li>
<li>Setting</li>
<li>Certificate</li>
<li>Submit</li>
</ol>
When a step is complete, give it the complete class to change the steps background colour.
The CSS
The numbers
There is an in-depth write up of counter over on Smashing Magazine.
The numbers are created with a counter which looks like this stripped to the basics:
ol {
list-style: none;
counter-reset: counter;
}
ol li {
counter-increment: counter;
}
ol li::before {
content: counter(counter, decimal);
}
The counter-increment property provides the correct number which is placed inside with content in a ::before pseudo-element.
The numbers are then positioned above the text with position: absolute.
The progress bar
Read more about pseudo-elements over here on the MDN.
It looks like this and goes behind the numbers:
It is created with a ::before pseudo element with a background gradient. Change the two middle percentage values (at 40% in this example) as the form is completed:
ol::before {
content: '';
height: 8px;
background:
linear-gradient(to right, #BFA15F 0, #BFA15F 40%, #A8A9AD 40%, #A8A9AD 100%);
position: absolute;
left: 50px;
right: 50px;
top: 6px;
}
Style the numbers
The numbers are inserted with ol li::before, which can be styled further:
border-radius: 50% to create a circle
text-align: center and line-height: 20px to perfectly center in the circle
a background colour which is changed as the steps are completed.
Complete Example
Note: There is no whitespace between the closing </li> tag and the next opening <li>. This prevents a gap between the inline-block list items. Read more here.
* {
margin: 0;
padding: 0;
box-sizing: border-box;
}
body {
font-family: arial;
}
ol {
list-style: none;

position: relative;
width: 600px;
margin: 50px auto;
white-space: nowrap;
/*white-space: nowrap; means -- don't wrap the text*/
}
ol::before {
content: '';
position: absolute;
height: 8px;
background: linear-gradient(to right, #BFA15F 0, #BFA15F 40%, #A8A9AD 40%, #A8A9AD 100%);

}
<ol>
<li class="complete">Personal</li><li class="complete">Profile</li><li>Experience</li><li>Setting</li><li>Certificate</li><li>Submit</li>
</ol>
Animated example
If the progress bar should animate, you could create it with two pseudo elements, instead of the gradient, with the gold line sliding over the gray.
* {
margin: 0;
padding: 0;
box-sizing: border-box;
}
body {
font-family: arial;
}
ol {
list-style: none;
counter-reset: counter;
position: relative;
width: 600px;
margin: 50px auto;
white-space: nowrap;
/*white-space: nowrap; means -- don't wrap the text*/
}
ol::before {
content: '';
position: absolute;
height: 8px;
background: #A8A9AD;
left: 50px;
right: 50px;
top: 6px;
}
ol::after {
content: '';
position: absolute;
height: 8px;
background: #BFA15F;
left: 50px;
top: 6px;
animation: stretch 2s linear infinite;
}
ol li {
counter-increment: counter;
display: inline-block;
position: relative;
text-transform: uppercase;
font-size: 0.7em;

/*Matches height value*/
text-align: center;
border-radius: 50%;

.parent1:hover .child1{

snippet
.parent:hover .child {
/* ... */
}
Add the below:
parent:hover {
cursor:pointer
}
It's a little tricky.
First you need to get the parent from the child :
const _parent = document.querySelector('selectorOfParentFromChild')
After you have to add the class on child and remove on parent. You need to do it one child event : 'onMouseOver'.
SO:
[child, parent].forEach(node=>node.addEvenListener('onmouseover', (event)=>{
event.stopPropagation();
const _parent = document.querySelector('selectorOfParentFromChild')
node.classlist.add(wanted)
_parent.classlist.remove(wanted)
})
This has been asked before, and answers seem to come within the span of: "css can't do that", "you should probably restructure your divs" and "here's a trick".
hover on child without hover effect on parent
Now I don't have the experience to say if a structure that neccesitates this is actually bad, but in either case, there is now a straight-forward solution with :has()
.parent {
display: block;
text-align: center;
font-weight: 700;
font-size: 31px;
letter-spacing: normal;
position: relative;
}
.parent:not(:has(.child:hover)):hover {
color: orange;
}
span {
line-height: unset;
vertical-align: baseline;
top: 0;
left: 0;
position: absolute;
color: transparent;
box-shadow: none;
z-index: 5;
}
span button {
position: absolute;
left: 0;
top: -20px;
color: #fff;
width: 30px;
height: 30px;
min-width: 30px;
min-height: 30px;
z-index: 5;
background: #0085ba !important;
border-radius: 50%;
border: 2px solid #fff;
box-sizing: border-box;
padding: 3px;
display: inline-block;
overflow: hidden;
}
<h2 class="parent">
Title
<span class="child">
<button>+</button>
</span>
</h2>
This is what that selector is saying in English:
Select all elements ".parent" - except the ones who have any child elements ".child" being hovered on - when they are hovered on.
You will have to delete the CSS for parent:hover and if you only want the hover effect on the button then the parent shouldn't have a hover effect in your CSS.
.parent {
display: block;
text-align: center;
font-weight: 700;
font-size: 31px;
letter-spacing: normal;
position: relative;

Inverse curve on side of button

so i have the following design for some "button tabs".
One side is curved, so border radius would not really be possible.
But is this type of curve even possible ?
or am i doomed to use some sort of image?
mostly looking for tips on how this might be accomplished, or somewhere i can look for a solution, since my previous tries to find a solution has yet to yield a result.
Html
<div class="tab-row">
<button>All Products<div class="tab-row__counter">20</div></button>
<button>Hardware<div class="tab-row__counter">20</div></button>
<button>Virtual<div class="tab-row__counter">20</div></button>
<button>Bundles<div class="tab-row__counter">20</div></button>
</div>
Css
.tab-row{
button{
background-color:$element-bg;
border:0;
color:$white;
width:300px;
height:90px;
margin-right:20px;
margin-top:40px;
border-radius: 5px 100px 0 0;
&:first-child{
margin-left:40px;
}
.tab-row__counter{
}
}
}
This is what i ended up with as a result,

not exactly curved but close enough
You can try the curves by using the border-radius, transform, and transform-origin properties like,
/**
* Slanted tabs with CSS 3D transforms
* See http://lea.verou.me/2013/10/slanted-tabs-with-css-3d-transforms/
*/
body { padding: 50px;background:#20273d }
nav {
position: relative;
z-index: 1;
white-space: nowrap;
}
nav a {
position: relative;
display: inline-block;
padding: 1.5em 2em 1em 1em;
color:#9a9a9a;
text-decoration: none;
margin: 0 -7px;
}
nav a::before {
content: ''; /* To generate the box */
position: absolute;
top: 0; right: 0; bottom: .5em; left: 0;
z-index: -1;
border-radius: 10px 10px 0 0;
background: #434f78;
box-shadow: 0 2px hsla(0,0%,100%,.5) inset;
transform: perspective(5px) rotateX(2deg);
transform-origin: bottom left;
}
nav a.selected {
z-index: 2;
color:#FFF;
}
<nav class="left">
All Products
Hardware
Virtual
</nav>
You can use radial gradient also,
body { padding: 50px;background:#20273d }
nav {
position: relative;
z-index: 1;
white-space: nowrap;
}
nav a {
position: relative;
display: inline-block;
padding: 1em 5em 1.2em 1em;
color:#9a9a9a;
text-decoration: none;
margin: 0 -20px;
border: 0px none;
}
nav a::before {
content: ''; /* To generate the box */
position: absolute;
top: 0;
right: 0;
bottom: .5em;
left: 0;
z-index: -1;
background: radial-gradient(circle at top right,transparent 5.8vw, #434f78 6.8vw);
transform: perspective(10px) rotateX(1deg);
transform-origin: bottom left;
border: 0px none;
}
nav a.selected {
z-index: 2;
color:#FFF;
}
<nav class="left">
All Products
Hardware
Virtual
</nav>
Whilst this does not replicate the exact shape you're after, this does provide an example of the method I described in the comments in how to approach it. You will just need to edit the values in ::before and ::after to get it to your desired shape.
.curve {
background: blue;
width: 50px;
height: 75px;
position: relative;
}
.curve:before {
content: '';
background-image: radial-gradient(circle at 100% 100%, rgba(204, 0, 0, 0) 100px, blue 100px);
position: absolute;
top: 0;
left: 100%;
width: 100px;
height: 75px;
}
.curve:after {
content: '';
position: absolute;
width: 50px;
height: 75px;
background: blue;
border-radius: 0 0 100% 0 / 0 0 100% 0;
top: 100%;
left: 0;
}
.container {
display: flex;
align-items: flex-start;
justify-content: center;
}
.tab {
height: 150px;
width: 300px;
background: red
}
<div class="container">
<div class="tab"></div>
<div class="curve"></div>
</div>

Psuedo-element text requires vertical adjustment, What CSS is required?

I have some code which is meant to render a curved boundary from a vertical to the bottom right as shown in the attached picture:
But as you can see, the text is not in the right spot... granted, it's 10 pixels from the main vertical right wall of the main part of the DIV, but the padding from the top is not 7px. I've tried rendering the "padding" using line-height, but what you see here is at line-height: 0... going any lower doesn't make it go any higher... Increasing it however, does push it further down.
Is there any I can render this code such that "ELBOW 1" appears 7px from the top of the DIV, and yet still retain the text content within the tag as a data attribute?

Line between three divs css, html

I'm unsure how to tackle what i'm doing.
I'm basically trying to achieve the above. I have a section tag and a list of li tags with a hr tag for the line. They overlap poorly though and don't sit/look as smoothly as i'd like.
Html:
<section class="navigation">
<li class="page_nav--one">One</li>
<hr class="page_nav--line_break" />
<li class="page_nav--two">Two</li>
<li class="page_nav--three">Three</li>
</section>
and my css looks like :
.navigation {
background: #fff;
text-align: center;
margin: 50px 0;
display: block;
.page_nav--line_break {
position: absolute;
display: block;
height: 1px;
top: -14px;
border: 0;
border-top: 1px solid #ccc;
/* margin: 1em 0; */
padding: 0;
width: 400px;
right: 202px;
z-index: 999999;
}
li {
display: inline-block;
list-style: none;
position: relative;
margin: 10px 85px;
}
li:before {
content: '';
height: 16px;
width: 16px;
background-size: 16px 16px;
position: absolute;
top: -23px;
left: 16px;
margin: auto;
cursor: pointer;
pointer-events: none;
}
li:nth-child(1):before {
background: url("trianle_image.png");
}
li:nth-child(2):before {
left: 23px;
background: url("trianle_image.png");
}
li:nth-child(3):before {
left: 35px;
background: url("trianle_image.png");
}
}
Is there a better method/way of achieving what i'm after or am I going about it the correct way?
I would probably use :after pseudo elements.
<div class="diamond"></div>
<div class="diamond"></div>
<div class="diamond"></div>
then the CSS with pseudo elements looks like this:
.diamond {
width:10px;
height:10px;
position:relative:
float:left;
margin-right:100px;
}
.diamond:last-of-type {
margin-right:0;
}
.diamond:after {
content:""
display:block;
width:100px;
height:1px;
background-color:gray;
position:absolute;
top:5px;
left:5px;
}
.diamond:last-of-type:after {
display:none;
}
So the theory is that the after element is your line (like you have) and it is as wide as the margin between the two elements, placed exactly where you need it. Then the last one is hidden.

Stacking Elements/Classes with CSS

I'm trying to create the image in the link with only html and css. There are a number of elements that would need to "stack" on top of one another.
I am having a difficult time understanding inheritance, nesting, etc. Here's the code I've written so far:
.heart {
position: relative;
margin-top: 20px;
background-color: #000000;
opacity: .8;
width: 65px;
height: 30px;
border-radius: 15px;
display: inline;
}
.box {
margin: 75px auto;
position: relative;

My concern is how to properly place the heart dialog, the text container, and the image overlay. I seem to be misunderstanding proper inheritance syntax or structure.
Use position:absolute; on heart dialog, text container, and image overlay elements and then position them correctly with the left and right properties.
Absolute positioning and z-index are the key words involved in stacking images with HTML and CSS.
I went ahead and mocked up your image with some html/css to give you an idea of implementation.
Z-index is not relevant in this particular example since you only require one layer above the base, which is automatically given to you with absolute positioning, however if you had multiple layers you would need to set the z-index to a number value where lower numbered z-indexes appear at the bottom and higher z-indexes appear at the top.
Here's my code, hope it helps:
body {
background-color: grey;
}
.container {
position:fixed;
height: 500px;
width: 700px;
background-image: url(http://i.stack.imgur.com/MS8X8.png);
background-position: 46% 52%;
background-size: 150%
}
.hearts {
position: absolute;
background-color: rgba(149, 165, 166,.5);
color: white;
right: 40px;
top: 15px;
padding: 15px 25px 15px 25px;
border-radius: 15px
}
.blue {
width: 550px;
height: 500px;
background-color: rgb(102,173,255);
float: right;
}
h1, h5 {
position: absolute;
font-family: sans-serif;
color: white;
text-transform: uppercase;
}
#quote {
left: 200px;
top: 30px;
font-size: 60px;
}
#attr {

top: 450px;
}

Understanding the stacking order
In your case, the natural stacking order will do the job; this is nicely explained over on the MDN. The main thing to understand is that elements will overlap those that come before them in the markup. This is better explained with a simple example:
div {
position: absolute;
background: red;
height: 100px;
width: 100px;
top: 0;
left: 0;
}
.two {
background: blue;
top: 10px;
left: 20px;
}
.three {
background: green;
top: 20px;
left: 40px;
}
<div class="one">1</div>
<div class="two">2</div>
<div class="three">3</div>
With that out of the way...
Let's make these!
Feel free to jump to the complete example at the end of this answer!
Want to use some pedantic semantics?
A <blockquote> element to wrap everything together in a semantic container.
A <nav> element to contain the back and forward navigation
A <cite> element that contains the name of the person quoted
Our markup now looks like this:
<blockquote>
<p>Don't You think that if I were wrong, I'd know it?</p>
<cite>Sheldon Cooper</cite>
<a href="#" class="love-counter">
<3 123
</a>
<nav>
Previous
Next
</nav>
</blockquote>
The CSS
Main background image and color
These can be placed as a background on the blockquote itself. You can use background-size to ensure that the image always has the same dimensions. (It will obviously distort images which have an incorrect size)
blockquote {
background: #18a0ff url(image-url) no-repeat;
background-size: 170px 490px;
}
Add the transparent grey background and quotation character
This can be added with a absolutely positioned before pseudo-element of blockquote. The element is stretched out with left / right / bottom along with a width that matches the image. The transparent grey overlay and transparent text is provided by rgba color.
blockquote:before {
content: '\201C';
position: absolute;
left: 0;
top: 0;
bottom: 0;
padding-top: 30px;
font-size: 2.4em;
text-align: center;
background: rgba(0,0,0,0.7);
width: 170px;
color: rgba(255,255,255,0.3);
}
Align the main quote text along with its citation
In order to incorporate smaller quotes, it could be more visually pleasing to vertically center the main text. We can use the display: flex property along with justify-content to easily achieve this; the flex-direction: column property stacks the main quote over the top of the citation. The blockquote is also given left and right padding to appropriately position it horizontally.
blockquote {
display: flex;
justify-content: center;
flex-direction: column;
padding: 0 140px 0 200px;
}
Position the back / forward navigation and love counter
These are easily located with position: absolute along with the appropriate left / right / bottom / top properties. They will look something like this:
.love-counter {
position: absolute;
right: 20px;
top: 20px;
}
nav {
position: absolute;
left: 0px;
bottom: 20px;
}

You might consider a javascript method to shrink the font size for larger quotes.
