css - triangle borders 100% of screen - html

Desired result:
A CSS solution where I have a container with width: 100%;, and above and below the container, I have triangles attached that create a parallelogram. The triangles should cover the entire width of the screen.
Problem
I tried with transform, but that also transforms the text inside the container, so that doesn't work to create the desired form. Right now I'm trying with 2 divs, 1 above and 1 under the container, and with border-right css property. The problem here is that it doesn't accept percentages.
Code
HTML:
<div class="triangleUP"></div>
<article class="blue">
Lorem ipsum (times 200)
</article>
<div class="triangleDOWN"></div>
CSS:
.triangleUP {
width: 0;
height: 0;
border-top: 250px solid transparent;
border-right: 1920px solid #344cd0;
overflow:hidden;
}
.blue{
background-color:#344cd0;
color:white;
}
.triangleDOWN{
width: 0;
height: 0;
border-top: 250px solid #344cd0;
border-right: 1920px solid transparent;
}
JSFiddle
I know that with jQuery I could easily manipulate the property, but I'd prefer to keep it CSS only.

A possible solution here would be to use 100vw which is 100% of the viewport width. Here is a table of current browser support.
New CSS:
.triangleUP {
width: 0;
height: 0;
border-top: 250px solid transparent;
border-right: 100vw solid #344cd0;
overflow:hidden;
}
.blue{
background-color:#344cd0;
color:white;
}
.triangleDOWN{
width: 0;
height: 0;
border-top: 250px solid #344cd0;
border-right: 100vw solid transparent;
}
Result:

If you want the triangle to be responsive but with a set width which is not 100% of the screen, you can use calc.
.bg{
background: #000;
width: 100%;
height: 100vh;
margin: 0;
}
.bg:after{
content: '';
width: 0;
display: block;
border-style: solid;
border-width: calc(100vh - 50px) calc(100vw - 50px) 0 0;
border-color: #fedbda transparent transparent transparent;
position: absolute;
top: 8px;
margin: 25px;
}
<div class="bg">
</div>

Make my border triangle responsive [duplicate]

This question already has answers here:
Responsive CSS triangle with percents width
(7 answers)
Closed 6 years ago.
I have a div which is a triangle using CSS borders.
It's currently set to 500px width. however I want to make it take up the full width of the screen while maintaining its triangular pointy shape
https://jsfiddle.net/hra17z5t/1/
#one {
width: 500px;
background-color: aqua;
height: 300px;
}
#two{
border-top: 100px solid red;
border-right: 250px solid transparent;
border-bottom: 100px solid transparent;
border-left: 250px solid transparent;
width: 0;
height: 0;
}
<div id="one"></div>
<div id="two"></div>
I have updated your code example: since you wanted to make it responsive to the full browser width, it's pretty straightforward:
#one {
width: 100vw;
background-color: aqua;
height: 300px;
}
#two {
border-top: 100px solid red;
border-right: 50vw solid transparent;
border-bottom: 100px solid transparent;
border-left: 50vw solid transparent;
width: 0;
height: 0;
}
<div id="one"></div>
<div id="two"></div>
Here we're simply setting the box's width to 100vw, which is 100% of the browser width. Since the dimensions of your triangle respond in the same way, based on your example you can simply set the border widths to 50vw (or half the browser width), and it will grow and shrink responsively.
Using jQuery:
$(window).resize(function () {
var divWidth = $('#one').width();
$('#two').css({
borderLeftWidth: divWidth / 2,
borderRightWidth: divWidth / 2
});
});
$(window).trigger('resize');
#one {
max-width: 100%;
}

How to avoid absolute bottom positioned div from overlapping other when window is resized

I have a page where I have a div at the bottom of the page which when clicked shows another div, just above the bottom div.
I'd like to avoid the footer divs overlapping the content div higher up the page when the window is resized.
The heights of the divs involved shouldn't change.
Is a CSS-only solution possible?
I've created a jsfiddle here
CSS
html, body {
height: 100%;
width: 100%;
padding: 0;
margin: 0;
}
#container {
height: 100%;
width: 100%;
background-color: white;
border: solid #aaa 1px;
padding: 4px;
}
#content {
height: 300px;
border: solid blue 1px;
}
#footer-content {
height: 100px;
border: solid red 1px;
display:none;
}
#footer-footer {
cursor: pointer;
height: 20px;
border: solid cyan 1px;
}
#footer.expanded #footer-content {
display:block;
}
#footer {
position: absolute;
bottom: 0px;
width: 100%;
}
HTML
<div id="container">
<div id="content">content
</div>
<div id="footer">
<div id="footer-content">footer-content</div>
<div id="footer-footer">Click me to expand</div>
</div>
</div>
JS
$("#footer-footer").on("click", function (evt) {
$("#footer").toggleClass("expanded");
});
Simply add position: relative to the #container. This way the absolute positioning of the footer refers to the container.
http://jsfiddle.net/5bkznxud/5/
You'll probably notice that in the example above there's always a scrollbar on the right. This is because of the borders and padding on #container. Here's an example with outline (border with no calculated width) and without any padding:
http://jsfiddle.net/5bkznxud/6/
TIP: Always use outline instead of border for blocking a layout OR use box-sizing: border-box. This causes a box' dimensions to also calculate for the border. Otherwise a box with width of 100% and border will span slightly wider than you want.
It can be solved by using calc().
In this case you can create a jQuery function that get the height of footer-content and footer-footer -> .height(). Without jQuery, I don't think it's possible.
Here is an example:
html, body {
height: 100%;
width: 100%;
padding: 0;
margin: 0;
}
#container {
height: 100%;
width: 100%;
background-color: white;
border: solid #aaa 1px;
padding: 4px;
min-height: 420px;
}
#content {
height:calc(100% - 135px);
border: solid blue 1px;
}
#footer-content {
height: 100px;
border: solid red 1px;
display:none;
}
#footer-footer {
cursor: pointer;
height: 20px;
border: solid cyan 1px;
}
#footer.expanded #footer-content {
display:block;
}
#footer {
position: absolute;
bottom: 0px;
width: 100%;
}

Decrease height of Triangle made using CSS3

I'm trying to decrease the height of the triangle made using css to fill in the div "box"
here is the fiddle http://jsfiddle.net/6rp7F/
.triangle-down{
width: 50%;
height: 0;
padding-left: 50%;
padding-top: 50%;
overflow: hidden; }
.triangle-down div {
width: 0;
height: -600px;
margin-left:-500px;
margin-top:-500px;
border-left: 500px solid transparent;
border-right: 500px solid transparent;
border-top: 500px solid #039dd4;
}
here is what i'm expecting to achieve:
Maybe setting border-top to 200px will help you. If not the actual value, you at least see which parameter to tweak.
Updated fiddle (with change made):
http://jsfiddle.net/6rp7F/6/
.triangle-down{
width: 50%;
height: 0;
padding-left: 50%;
padding-top: 50%;
overflow: hidden; }
.triangle-down div {
width: 0;
height: -600px;
margin-left:-500px;
margin-top:-500px;
border-left: 1200px solid transparent;
border-right: 1200px solid transparent;
border-top: 500px solid #039dd4;
This goes off-screen but works!
If you are willing to reduce the overall sizes, then you can see it just as well in that tiny screen but the concept remains the same
See here working perfectly! (I reduced everything by a factor of 10 just to demonstrate that it works)
Changing the margin-top will decrease the height, but will also shrink the triangle. You have to also adjust margin-left, margin-right, padding-left, and padding-right to keep its width the same.
Here is an updated Fiddle
No sure why you need the extra div when this can be done with a pseudo element
JSfiddle Demo
HTML
<div class="triangle-down"></div>
CSS
.triangle-down{
height:1px;
position: relative;
}
.triangle-down:after {
position: absolute;
content:"";
width:0;
height:0;
/* separate out so you can see various properties*/
/* the height of the arrow is dtermined by the top and bottom border widths */
border-width: 200px 500px 200px 500px;
border-style:solid;
border-color:red transparent transparent transparent;
}
You can modify your CSS applied to the div as such:
.triangle-down div {
width: 0px;
margin-left: -300px;
margin-top: -350px;
border-left: 250px solid transparent;
border-right: 250px solid transparent;
border-top: 125px solid #039DD4;
}

Hope this helps!!!

Need two slanted lines to form a point and act as a break for the page using CSS/HTML

As I can't upload images due to reputation points here goes me trying to explain it.
I have 2 div's than need to be separated by two slanted lines coming down towards each other forming a point in the middle. The jsfiddle will show you what I mean.
I tried this solution: http://jsfiddle.net/RZ4b8/7/
However I don't know how to make it responsive as the values are set for the border-left-width property and only works for specific browser widths. Below is the code;
.top-border { width: 100%; position: relative; left: 0; }
.top-border-left { border-top-width: 30px; border-right-width: 0; border-bottom-width: 0; border-left-width: 800px; border-color: transparent transparent transparent #ffffff; float: left; }
.top-border-left { border-style: solid solid inset solid; width: 0; height: 0; }
.top-border-right { border-top-width: 0; border-right-width: 0; border-bottom-width: 30p x; border-left-width: 800px; border-color: transparent transparent #ffffff transparent; float: right; }
.top-border-right { border-style: inset solid solid solid; width: 0; height: 0; }
jQuery/CSS Solution for a Flexible Triangular Box
In the simplest case, start with this HTML:
<div class="div1">text 1</div>
<div class="top-border">
<div class="inner"></div>
</div>
<div class="div2">text 2</div>
and apply this CSS:
.div1 {
background: purple;
height: 50px;
}
.div2 {
background: red;
height: 50px;
}
.top-border {
overflow: hidden;
}
.top-border .inner {
width: 0;
height: 0;
border-top: 50px solid lightgray; /* controls the height of the triangle */
border-left: 100px solid transparent; /* these default values are reset
by the jQuery script */
border-right: 100px solid transparent;
border-bottom: none;
margin: 0 auto;
}
and use the following jQuery script to set the correct border widths:
function setTriangleWidth() {
var baseWidth = $(".top-border").width() / 2.0;
$(".top-border .inner").css({
"border-left-width": baseWidth + "px",
"border-right-width": baseWidth + "px"
});
}
$(window).resize(function(){setTriangleWidth();});
$(document).ready(setTriangleWidth())
Demo fiddle at: http://jsfiddle.net/audetwebdesign/Gs2pc/
This demonstrates the basic concept. If you want the triangle to overlap the red text box, then you can use absolute positioning or a negative margin, for example:
.div2.ex2 {
margin-top: -50px;
position: relative;
z-index: -1;
padding-top: 50px;
}

Setting up textarea to consume all the available space in a div (minus N pixels at the top)

I am trying to set up a custom toolbar for a textarea, I have the following
html:
<div id="main">
<div id="toolbar"></div>
<textarea></textarea>
</div>
css:
#main {
background-color: #ddd;
height: 400px;
width: 400px;
position: relative;
}
#toolbar {
background-color: #444;
height: 40px;
color: white;
}
textarea {
outline: none;
border: none;
border-left: 1px solid #777;
border-right: 1px solid #777;
border-bottom: 1px solid #777;
margin: 0;
position: absolute;
top: 40px;
bottom: 0;
left: 0;
right: 0;
}
It works exactly as I expected in Chrome, but in firefox / ie the text area is not consuming all the available space in the div.
How do I set it up so the toolbar takes up 40px at the top of the div, and the textarea consumes all the rest of the height.
I am sizing this stuff dynamically so can not use a "px" height or width for the textarea.
Codepen here: http://codepen.io/anon/pen/pDgvq
Better Suggestion
Set the textarea's width and height to 100%. Then, give it a 40px top-border that is transparent (color doesn't really matter, actually). Be sure to set box-sizing to border-box. Now position the relative toolbar on a higher z-index - voila.
Pen: http://codepen.io/anon/pen/nFfam
Oldie
Rather than moving the textarea down, move the toolbar up:
#main {
background-color: #ddd;
height: 200px; width: 400px;
position: relative;
top: 40px;
}
#toolbar {
background-color: #444;
height: 40px; width: 100%;
position: absolute;
top: -40px;
}
textarea {
width: 100%; height: 100%;
box-sizing: border-box;
}
Pen: http://codepen.io/anon/pen/mEGyp
Both Firefox and IE9+ support the calc() CSS function (you're out of luck with IE8 though; not sure what you're supporting).
I've added these lines to the textarea's CSS in your pen (updated version):
width: calc(100% - 2px);
height: calc(100% - 41px);
padding: 0;
The padding is just for normalization; you can choose whatever suits your needs, but be sure to adjust the pixel values in calc() accordingly. The 2px for width are to compensate the left and right border; the 41px for height are 40 for the toolbar and 1 for the bottom border.
Add width:-moz-available; height:100%;resize: none; to textarea
textarea {
outline: none;
border: none;
border-left: 1px solid #777;
border-right: 1px solid #777;
border-bottom: 1px solid #777;
margin: 0;
position: absolute;
top: 40px;
bottom: 0;
left: 0;
right: 0; width:-moz-available; height:100%;
resize: none;
}
UPDATED DEMO
Another Method
You can add a div around textarea and give position:absolute to the div
HTML
<div id="main">
<div id="toolbar"></div>
<div id="container">
<textarea></textarea>
</div>
</div>
CSS
#container{
position:absolute;
bottom:0px;
top:40px;
width:100%
}
textarea {
outline: none;
border: none;
border-left: 1px solid #777;
border-right: 1px solid #777;
border-bottom: 1px solid #777;
resize: none; height:100%; width:99.5%
}
DEMO 2
You can use height and width for textarea in % also apply top to the toolbar div in %
e.g. If top is 10% give 90% height to textarea.
I hope this is your desired result: Demo
#main {
background-color: #ddd;
width: 400px; height: 200px;
padding: 0;
}
div #toolbar {
background: #444;
width: 100%; height: 40px;
}
textarea {
margin: 0;
width: 100%; height: 100%;
}
