The title says it all, I've just discovered that IE (9 - 11) automatically applies about 50% opacity to any element's border with border-style: dotted.
The weirdest thing is, it only happens on dotted in particular, solid and dashed are fine.
You can test it yourself: http://jsfiddle.net/ptv74f4q/1/
Any ideas?
This appears to be due to IE anti-aliasing the dotted border. If you make the border-width bigger than 1px (say 5px) the border will appear white again.
One way to get around this would be to overlay some pseudo elements with the same dotted border on top to counteract the opacity:
div {
width: 200px;
height: 200px;
background: #000;
}
span {
transform: rotate(0deg);
display: inline-block;
width: 180px;
height: 85px;
line-height: 85px;
text-align: center;
margin: 8px 8px 0 8px;
border: #fff 1px solid;
color: #fff;
position: relative;
}
span.dotted {
border-style: dotted;
}
span.dotted::before, span.dotted::after {
border: #fff 1px dotted;
content: "";
height: 100%;
left: -1px;
position: absolute;
top: -1px;
width: 100%;
}
<div>
<span>I'm with normal border</span>
<span class="dotted">I'm with dotted border</span>
</div>

Alternative method
Alternatively you could try using border-image. There are online tools (e.g. https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/CSS/Tools/Border-image_generator) that would be able to help you generate a similar border using this method.

I am developing a site and almost the only thing that's left is a slide number indicator. The problem can be viewed in this link:

The current slide indicator looks like this:

The end result is supposed to look like this: https://i.imgur.com/CfdZtOS.png
I have tried using multiple circular box-borders, but that didn't do it.
The white part of the indicator is done, but there has to be a transparent space, and then an orange border.
Please guide!
Your solutions is here:
<div class="circle"></div>
and CSS:
.circle {
display: inline-block;
border-radius: 10px;
width: 10px;
height: 10px;
border: 5px solid #000;
background-color: #fff;
box-shadow: 0px 0px 1px 2px #fff;
}

Add this to your css
.global_slider .flickity-page-dots .dot {
position: relative;
}
.global_slider .flickity-page-dots .dot.is-selected:before {
content: '';
width: 25px;
height: 25px;
position: absolute;
left: -5px;
top: -5px;
border-radius: 50%;
border: 1px solid yellow;
}
I'm trying to mockup this design:
But, I can't render the red border correctly. I tried with the obvious solution:
border: 1px solid #939393;
border-left: 4px solid red;
But It's affected by the top and bottom borders, leaving the red stripe with diagonal corners, as you can see in this fiddle:
http://jsfiddle.net/anp0e03k/
Is there any way correct way to fix this?
The only thing that I can think is to add a div inside with red background and negative margins on top and bottom, but it seems to be an overkill and would love to find something that doesn't ruins the html semantic.
Apply the left border to a :before pseudo element of the div and remove the divs left border.
Compatibility: All modern browsers and IE8 +
Give the :before
height: 100% to span the entire height of your div
margin-top: -1px to overlap the top border
padding-bottom: 2px to overlap the bottom border
Then use either
position: absolute on the :before with position: relative on the div like this example:
body {
background-color: #c2c2c2;
}
div {
margin: 50px;
background-color: #FFF;
border: 1px solid #939393;
height: 50px;
width: 200px;
border-left: none;
position: relative;
}
div:before {
content: '';
display: block;
border-left: 4px solid red;
height: 100%;
margin-top: -1px;
padding-bottom: 2px;
position: absolute;
top: 0;
left: 0;
}
<div>
</div>
or
display: inline-block for the :before like this example:
Note: You will probably want to use vertical-align: top / middle / bottom for the :before. This example uses the value top.
body {
background-color: #c2c2c2;
}
div {
margin: 50px;
background-color: #FFF;
border: 1px solid #939393;
height: 50px;
width: 200px;
border-left: none;
}
div:before {
content: '';
display: inline-block;
border-left: 4px solid red;
height: 100%;
margin-top: -1px;
padding-bottom: 2px;
vertical-align: top;
}
<div>
There is text in this
</div>
Final result
I got with image as a background, and want to get effect of multiple inner outlines.
Outlines should be solid white 2px, but in different position - say -4px, -8px, -12px.
Goal is to get more than 2 outlines.
I know i can make box-shadow and outline to get double outilne, but noticed that i cannot attach to div 3 classes with different outline-offset - div have applied only last of class.
My code:
<div class="imgfield effect1 effect2 effect3"> </div>
and example css:
.imgfield { background: url(someimage.jpg); ... width, height etc. }
.effect1 { outline: yellow 2px solid; outline-offset: -4px; }
.effect2 { outline: red 2px solid; outline-offset: -8px; }
.effect3 { outline: blue 2px solid; outline-offset: -12px; }
In this example there will be only blue inner outline but now red niether yellow. How to workaround this?
-----------edit-----------------
All answers are good. I must admit i try handling after and before but i'm not enough familiar with it. Box-sizing: border-box was also important.
to complete #Mr.Alien demo/answer , i would use border's pseudo for a better compatibility.
.effect {
height: 200px;
width: 200px;
outline: 1px solid #000;
position:relative;/* pick as reference for pseudo absolute */
-moz-box-sizing:border-box; /* keep box within size given */
box-sizing:border-box;
}
/* size pseudo within from coordonates */
.effect:before {
content:"";
top:2px;
left:2px;
right:2px;
bottom:2px;
border: green 2px solid;
position: absolute;
}
.effect:after {
content:"";
top:6px;
left:6px;
right:6px;
bottom:6px;
border: red 2px solid;
position: absolute;
}
DEMO
How about using pseudo elements for this? Here, I am using a single class with a single element, but am positioning the pseudo elements i.e :before and :after using position: absolute;.
Demo
You can surely play with z-index if you have any issue with the element overlapping.
.effect {
height: 200px;
width: 200px;
outline: 1px solid #000;
}
.effect:before {
content: "";
height: 200px;
width: 200px;
outline: green 2px solid;
outline-offset: -4px;
display: block;
position: absolute;
}
.effect:after {
content: "";
display: block;
height: 200px;
width: 200px;
outline: red 2px solid;
outline-offset: -8px;
position: absolute;
}
I have found information on how to create various shapes, such as trapezoids and hearts, using only CSS; however, they are solid shapes. Is there a way to create a shape, such as a trapezoid, that is transparent and only displays an outline/border?
By making two shapes and overlapping them, with one larger than the other, it is possible to make it appear to have this effect, but that would only work if the background behind the shape is a solid color, which may not always be the case. Thus the reason for the transparency.
For examples of the CSS shapes: link; look at the triangles, for example.
Thank you.
This is usually done with border tricks, and those are not really helpful for this
You need others techniques for that.
For instance, see this CSS
body {
background: linear-gradient(90deg, lightblue, yellow)
}
.trapezoid {
left: 50px;
top: 50px;
position: absolute;
height: 100px;
width: 500px;
background-color: transparent;
}
.trapezoid:before {
content: '';
width: 57%;
height: 100%;
left: -4%;
position: absolute;
border-color: red;
border-style: solid;
border-width: 3px 0px 3px 3px;
-webkit-transform: skewX(-20deg);
}
.trapezoid:after {
content: '';
width: 59%;
height: 100%;
right: -4%;
position: absolute;
border-color: red;
border-style: solid;
border-width: 3px 3px 3px 0px;
-webkit-transform: skewX(20deg);
}
fiddle
The base element has the background transparent, as per your request. I have set a gradient in the body to verify it.
The you add 2 pseudo elements, that have the borders set (except the inner one), and that are skewed to achieve the trapezoid
You can set background color to transparent
background-color: transparent;
The way that these shapes are typically done in css is through border manipulation. When you have a transparent trapezoid it's just a rectangle with the sides lopped off by a border. Because of this, there is no way to use a uniform border and maintain the same shape.
What's your current code look like? You should just be able to add a border to it and no background color. Example: http://jsfiddle.net/tBBkg/
Overlapping transparent shapes (with border):
#square {
width: 140px;
height: 140px;
border: 2px solid blue;
position: absolute;
}
#circle {
position: absolute;
height: 100px;
width: 100px;
-moz-border-radius: 50px;
-webkit-border-radius: 50px;
border-radius: 50px;
border: 2px solid pink;
}
Perhaps I'm not understanding the question properly, in which case could you clarify?
Imagine (or if you can't imagine, watch) this piece of code:
<div class="block"></div>
<style>
.block {
width: 10px;
height: 10px;
display: block;
background-color: red;
border: 1px solid #000000;
border-bottom: 0;
}
</style>
Now look at the bottom line. This is my problem; I want the left and right border to be 1px longer (so the bottom border is the part between the left border and right border).
Is it possible to accomplish this??
This is a way to do it, since the box model does not support what you need, using only one div:
<div class="block"><div></div></div>
and the css:
.block {
width: 10px;
height: 10px;
border: 1px solid #000000;
border-bottom: 0;
padding-bottom: 1px;
}
.block div {
width: 10px;
height: 10px;
background-color: red;
}
This will extend the black border on the left and right side with 1px.
Try this :)
http://jsfiddle.net/z6ASC/
This is possible if you have two containers, one for the outside left/right borders, and one for the inside bottom-border. I've put together a demo showing this.
DEMO:
http://wecodesign.com/demos/stackoverflow-7074782.htm
<style type="text/css">
#borderOutside {
height: 200px;
width: 300px;
border:1px solid #900;
border-bottom: none;
padding-bottom: 5px; /*this is the gap at the bottom*/
}
#borderInside {
height: 100%;
border-bottom: 1px solid #900;
}
</style>
<div id="borderOutside">
<div id="borderInside"><!--Your Content--></div>
</div>
It can be done without adding any extraneous elements in your HTML via this strategy:
.block {
position: relative;
width: 10px;
height: 10px;
display: block;
background-color: red;
}
.block:before {
position: absolute;
content: '';
width: 10px;
height: 11px;
top: -1px;
left: -1px;
border: 1px solid #000;
border-bottom: none;
}
The pseudo element :before is only supported from IE8, but works in all other major browsers.
