Have been attempting to make a custom sidebar similar to the image linked below. However I'm unsure of how to go about coding the custom div (if even necessary) and incorporating a variable border.
I have tried managing multiple s to achieve the slanted header but to no success.
I have considered the option of just using the template as a background image but I'm not sure if that is the best approach as I would ideally like the sidebar to be scalable due to drop down menus.
I apologize if this isn't a wealth of information but I am just clueless as how to accomplish an end result. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

you can do this by
1, make a div for header like
2, make left and right side div with 100% height and repeat this image both side
it would be like
If you don't want to use images, you should be able to accomplish this with just css and html. The benefit to doing this with css and html is that it will re-size in the browser better (although newer browsers are getting better at re-sizing images) and take no time to load.
You could try something along the lines of the following.
Here are the CSS styles:
#tabbox {
position:absolute;
width: 200px;
height: 200px;
background: black;
border: 2px solid #C7ECFE;
-webkit-box-shadow:-4px 6px 12px #C7ECFE;
-moz-box-shadow: -4px 6px 12px #C7ECFE;
box-shadow:-4px 6px 12px #C7ECFE;
}
#tabbox:before {
margin-top:-2px;
margin-left:0px;
height: 0;
width: 143px;
content:"";
position: absolute;
border-bottom: 30px solid #C7ECFE;
border-right: 60px solid black;
}
#tabbox:after {
position: absolute;
top:0;
height: 0;
width: 142px;
content:"";
position: absolute;
border-bottom: 30px solid black;
border-right: 60px solid transparent;
}
And then in your body just define the div with id = "tabbox". This will give you something like this:

I know to insert the text and the buttons , i just don't understand those two black images or whatever they are . Thanks in advance :)
I'll make a guess. The black images are placeholders (because everything else you have looks like placeholders). I'm guessing you are searching for the CSS to make the frames around the images and perhaps how to "float" them on top of each other?
.float-stuff-relative-to-this-div {
position: relative;
}
.image-frame{
border: 5px solid white;
box-shadow: 0 1px 3px black;
}
.floaty-float{
position: absolute;
top: 20px;
left: 20px;
/* Puts it behind stuff with higher z-index (default is 0) */
z-index: -1;
}
<div class="float-stuff-relative-to-this-div">
<img class="image-frame" src="http://via.placeholder.com/200x200/000000/000000">
<img class="image-frame floaty-float" src="http://via.placeholder.com/200x200/000000/000000">
</div>
I'm trying to create a custom styled text field for a client.
They want a trapezium shaped input field.
This is what I've done till now:
HTML
<input type="text">
CSS
input{
background: #ccc;
color: #000;
border-bottom: 50px solid #ccc;
padding-top:5px;
border-left: 20px solid #fff;
border-right: 20px solid #fff;
height: 0px;
width: 200px;
}
Fiddle
Any idea on how or if it's possible to make something like this: .
Something like this:
<span class="outer">
<span class="inner">
<input type="text" value="test value" />
</span>
</span>
.outer {
display: inline-block;
border-bottom: 34px solid #000;
border-left: 20px solid transparent;
border-right: 20px solid transparent;
height: 0px;
}
.inner {
display: inline-block;
margin: 1px -18px -40px -18px;
border-bottom: 32px solid white;
border-left: 20px solid transparent;
border-right: 20px solid transparent;
height: 0px;
}
input
{
background: transparent;
border: none;
display: inline-block;
font-size: 130%;
}
http://jsfiddle.net/fNCt4/4/
The input itself doesn't contribute to the shape. It's only those two spans. You could use the input element itself for the inner shape, but since you need to add markup anyway, I think you might as well add two 'generic' trapezoid helper shapes and leave the input element untouched.
You'll need two to fake the border. This is needed, because the shape itself is created by adding a border, so the visible border is constructed by overlaying a slightly smaller shape onto the other.
The rest is tricks with negative margins to allow the inner shape to be positioned over the border of the outer shape. And of course using transparent as a color, to prevent the 'negative space' of the inner shape to overwrite the outer shape.
Once again clients being complicated!
I suggest you use a background image In the CSS of a trapezium with the outside transparent so a png. Make the margins in a bit so the user doesn't write outside the trapezium.
Hope this helps
You have two options here
CSS3
Image as a background.
for css3 option check out this link http://css-tricks.com/examples/ShapesOfCSS/
#trapezoid {
border-bottom: 100px solid red;
border-left: 50px solid transparent;
border-right: 50px solid transparent;
height: 0; width: 100px;
}
But to make it backward compatible i would suggest you go for image as a background as a fallback for css3.
I am trying to create a box that has a 'highlight' down the sides of it, and at the top.
The CSS for the box was pretty simple, however, now that I introduced this 'highlight' to the design, it has added another level of complexity to the CSS...
I have tried a lot of things, not sure if they will help but here is my most recent:
/* Define the Main Navigation Drop Downs */
#mn_navigation .dd {position:relative;width:226px;padding:29px 0 0;background:transparent url("//beta.example.co.uk/_images/_global/dd_handle.png") no-repeat;z-index:1000;}
#mn_navigation .dd nav {padding:30px 0;background:#3E5032 url("//beta.example.co.uk/_images/_global/dd_bg.png");border-radius:3px;}
#mn_navigation .dd nav a {font-family:Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;font-size:12px;color:#fff !important;height:25px;line-height:25px;}
Please note I have posted the above to show that I have actually tried to sort this myself. The above code will probably not even help as a starting point as a restructure of the HTML may be necessary!
Here is the current HTML (probably needs to be restructured):
<div id="dd_foo" class="dd">
<nav>
LINK
</nav>
</div>
Here is a possible restructure (something like):
<div id="dd_foo" class="dd">
<div class="handle"><!-- Dropdown Handle --></div>
<nav>
LINK
</nav>
</div>
This is what I need the box to look like (notice the faint white border at the top and half way down the sides):
I have also included the box split into its separate elements (handle and background)
I think I can see how this can be done with clever overlaps and nested divs, but ideally I don't really want to resort to this... Can anybody suggest an alternative solution?
Simplest approach
You can try achieving this using a simple box shadow:
.plaque {
box-shadow: inset 0 1px 1px 0 rgba(255, 255, 255, 0.32);
/*...*/
}
An Example
Here's an example using 1 class and a div on jsbin.
Copy paste code
This code is only for modern browsers; it might cause ie < 9 and other non supporting browsers to explode.
.plaque:after {
top: -9px;
content: " ";
height: 11px;
width: 30px;
position: absolute;
pointer-events: none;
left: 50%;
margin-left: -15px;
display: block;
background-repeat: no-repeat;
}
.plaque {
width: 250px;
height: 100px;
display: block;
border: 0;
outline: 0;
padding: 12px 16px;
line-height: 1.4;
box-shadow: inset 0 1px 1px 0 rgba(255, 255, 255, 0.32);
border-radius: 5px;
border: 1px solid transparent;
font-family: sans-serif;
color: white;
font-size: 1.2em;
text-overflow: ellipsis;
position: relative;
top: 6px;
}
/* Use whatever background you want */
.plaque { background-color: green; }
.plaque:after { background-image: url(data:image/png;base64,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); }
Hy there,
I need to create a div which looks like this:
What i've came up with so far is this:
http://jsfiddle.net/suamikim/ft33k/
.bubble {
position: relative;
width: 80px;
height: 160px;
border: 1px solid #33A7F4;
border-radius: 9px;
margin: 100px;
-webkit-box-shadow: 0px 0px 20px 2px #33A7F4;
-moz-box-shadow: 0px 0px 20px 2px #33A7F4;
-ms-box-shadow: 0px 0px 20px 2px #33A7F4;
-o-box-shadow: 0px 0px 20px 2px #33A7F4;
box-shadow: 0px 0px 20px 2px #33A7F4;
}
.bubble:after, .bubble:before {
content: ' ';
position: absolute;
width: 0;
height: 0;
border: 17px solid transparent;
right: 100%;
}
.bubble-left:before {
border-top-color: #33A7F4;
border-right-color: #33A7F4;
top: 60px;
}
.bubble-left:after {
border-width: 16px;
border-top-color: black;
border-right-color: black;
top: 61px;
}
As you can see the "only" problem is the box-shadow around the tail of the bubble (the triangular arrow).
I've also tried to not use the before- & after-pseudo-classes but use a second div which only holds the triangle (with transformation, rotation, ...) but obviously that didn't lead me to no success neither.
A static picture is no option because the size of the rectangle itself and the position of the tail are both dynamic and can change during "runtime".
I've also came up with a solution where i create the border & the shadow with a dynamically gernerated svg. If no other option can be found i'm going to stick with this solution but it feels pretty strong like a "hack". I'm not posting this solution here because it involves 2 javascript-framworks (extjs & raphael) and this question should be about html & css.
Nonetheless i could still provide it if someone is interested in it...
One last thing: Browser-compatibility is not that big a deal. If it's working in the latest versions of the big ones (firefox, chrome, opera, ie 10, ...) everything is fine ;)
Thanks,
mik
Use drop-shadow:
maybe this article (box-shadow-vs-filter-drop-shadow) will help you
You should use from filter in your CSS then set the drop-shadow($yourshadow) function for value. There is no difference to write shadow for filter: drop-shadow($yourshadow) function or shadow: $yourshadow as a property. You can write like below:
.shape1, .shape2{
transform: rotate(35deg);
background: yellow;
height: 100px;
width: 100px;
display: inline-block;
}
.myshape{
margin: 30px;
filter: drop-shadow(4px 4px 10px rgba(0,0,0,0.5));
}
<div class="myshape">
<div class="shape1"></div>
<div class="shape2"></div>
</div>
Enjoy...
It's probably not in your best interest to do this, I would leave it as is.
http://css-tricks.com/triangle-with-shadow/
You can skip down to "The Double-Box Method" and it shows a very manual way of doing this using :before and :after (which you already used up making the bubble) with the help of transform. If you really wanted to do this, you could float the arrow to the left and apply shadows through the pseudo elements.
I'm trying to use divs instead of tables to style boxes around my content. The content can be any size and needs to allow the browser to be resized to any degree. Need the background color and border to contain the content. This works fine with tables. How do I get a div to work the same way?
Note: I added "_"s because my non-breaking spaces were getting lost.
Sample Page
Sample image
(source: c3o.com)
Content:
<style type="text/css">
div.box, table.box
{
padding: 10px 1000px 10px 10px;
}
div.box-header, td.box-header
{
border: solid 1px #BBBBBB ;
font-size: larger;
padding: 4px;
background-color: #DDDDDD;
}
div.box-body, td.box-body
{
padding: 6px;
border: solid 1px #BBBBBB ;
border-top: none;
}
</style>
<div class="box">
<div class="box-header">please_help_make_these_divs_stop_overlapping</div>
<div class="box-body">please_help_make_these_divs_stop_overlapping</div>
</div>
<table class="box" width="100%" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0">
<tr><td class="box-header">tables_make_good_containers_tables_make_good</td></tr>
<tr><td class="box-body">tables_make_good_containers_tables_make_good</td></tr>
</table>
There is no easy way to do this that is crossbrowser friendly that I know of.
At least in firefox you can create an simulated table by setting divs with
display:table;
display:table-row;
display:table-cell;
So that those divs work like table elements. Then the box will contain it's content. Wether that's a good solution or not is debateable.
I've been having similar issues with page layouts myself. Usually I've solved those by setting min-width and overflow:auto;
If you really don't want to use a table you can do this:
div.box div {
overflow: hidden;
zoom: 1; /* trigger haslayout for ie */
}
Next time this kind of problem comes up go to giveupandusetables.com.
One way is to make your boxes floats. Add float:left; to box, box-header, and box-body. Add clear:both; to box-body to force it below box-header. You'll probably need to add clear property to whatever content follows as well.
You will not get right edges of box-header and box-body to align, though. If you want their widths to be the same, you really want a table. Table is a tool to make all cells in the same column to share the widths.
For other ideas, check out this SO question.
Firstly, you should be using semantic markup. If something is a header and content mark it up as such with header and paragraph tags. That will help you move out of the 'table-way' of thinking were you try to emulate your markup and styles like a table, markup should come first, CSS can come after.
The following should do what you want:
<style type="text/css">
* {
margin:0px;
padding:0px;
}
.box {
border: solid 1px #BBBBBB;
margin:10px;
}
.box h3 {
padding: 4px;
border-bottom: solid 1px #BBBBBB;
background-color: #DDDDDD;
}
.box p {
padding: 6px;
}
</style>
<div class='box'>
<h3>please help make these divs stop overlapping</h3>
<p>please help make these divs stop overlapping</p>
</div>
Thinking about markup and style separately is the path to CSS Zen Mastery :o)
This works (actually holds together better than tables in ie7 too)
div.box{
float:left;
width:auto;
margin: 10px 1000px 10px 10px;
}
div.box-header{
float:left;
width:100%;
border: solid 1px #BBBBBB ;
font-size: larger;
padding: 4px;
background-color: #DDDDDD;
}
div.box-body{
clear:left;
float:left;
width:100%;
padding: 4px;
border: solid 1px #BBBBBB ;
border-top: none;
}
NOTE: both boxes have to have same left and right padding or one juts out a bit.
Floats are not needed, but you seem to be confusing the uses of margin vs. padding. The following minor tweaks to your style works as you need it to:
<style type="text/css">
div.box, table.box
{
margin: 10px 1000px 10px 10px;
border: solid 1px #BBBBBB ;
padding: 0px;
}
div.box-header, td.box-header
{
font-size: larger;
padding: 4px;
background-color: #DDDDDD;
border-bottom: solid 1px #BBBBBB ;
}
.box-body, td.box-body
{
padding: 6px;
}
</style>
I've changed the padding on the box to a margin, moved the border to your box, and added an underline to the header.
I had this problem also using Firefox 6.0.1, Opera 10.62, Safari 5.1, but not in IE 9, and the overflow:auto fixed it in all browsers. Nothing else did. I also tried overflow:contain, which also fixed the problem, but it appears that contain is not a valid value for overflow, so I am assuming that, since the value was not valid, auto was substituted.
