How to make this arrow in CSS only?

Question

I'm building a wizard-like ordering process where I have this menu:

The active page is colored green (in this case, Model).

How does one make this arrow using only CSS?:

At the moment i'm achieving my goal by using several divs and images:

<div class="menuItem">
    <div></div> <!-- The left image -->
    <div>Varianten</div>
    <div></div> <!-- The right image -->
</div>

The left image:

The right image:

I found a SO answer which does part of this:Arrow Box with CSS , however i'm having trouble with the indent at the left.

If you have a better idea about how to do this, please let me know!

Answer 1

If the space between the arrows does not need to be transparent ( it is solid color ) you can use the :before and :after to create the edges ( without new elements in DOM )

Basically, it creates rotated squares with the borders we want and places them accordingly

 #flowBoxes { margin:auto; padding:20px; min-width:700px; } #flowBoxes div { display:inline-block; position:relative; height:25px; line-height:25px; padding:0 20px; border:1px solid #ccc; margin-right:2px; background-color:white; } #flowBoxes div.right:after{ content:''; border-top:1px solid #ccc; border-right:1px solid #ccc; width:18px; height:18px; position:absolute; right:0; top:-1px; background-color:white; z-index:150; -webkit-transform: translate(10px,4px) rotate(45deg); -moz-transform: translate(10px,4px) rotate(45deg); -ms-transform: translate(10px,4px) rotate(45deg); -o-transform: translate(10px,4px) rotate(20deg); transform: translate(10px,4px) rotate(45deg); } #flowBoxes div.left:before{ content:''; border-top:1px solid #ccc; border-right:1px solid #ccc; width:18px; height:18px; position:absolute; left:0; top:-1px; background-color:white; z-index:50; -webkit-transform: translate(-10px,4px) rotate(45deg); -moz-transform: translate(-10px,4px) rotate(45deg); -ms-transform: translate(-10px,4px) rotate(45deg); -o-transform: translate(-10px,4px) rotate(20deg); transform: translate(-10px,4px) rotate(45deg); } #flowBoxes .active{ background-color:green; color:white; } #flowBoxes div.active:after{ background-color:green; }

 <div id="flowBoxes"> <div class="right">Diersoort / I&amp;R</div> <div class="left right active">Model</div> <div class="left right">Varianten</div> <div class="left right">Bedrukkingen</div> <div class="left">Bevestiging</div> </div>

Answer 2

Here is an alternate approach to the whole thing using CSS3 features. One advantage of using this method (and one of the main reasons for adding a separate answer) is that the space in between the arrows can be transparent.

Basically the implementation is as follows:

1. There is one div for each step/item and it contains the text that needs to be displayed. Let us say the height of this div is x (50px in this example).
2. Two pseudo-elements ( :before and :after ) are created with their width the same as the parent div and height as half ( x/2 ) of the parent. The :before element has no border-bottom whereas the :after element has no border-top to avoid a line appearing in the middle of the shape (parallel to x-axis).
3. These two pseudo-elements are then skew transformed in opposite directions and are positioned in such a way that they are directly below each other and thus ends up forming the required shape.
4. The pseudo-elements are assigned a negative z-index to push them to be behind the parent div (and therefore its text).
5. The first-child and the last-child elements are modified slightly ( left position, border of pseudo-elements, background and border of parent div ) to achieve the straight sides.
6. We can add an active class for active elements and hover effects also to the shapes like in the below sample.

 .steps { height: 50px; width: 150px; text-align: center; line-height: 50px; position: relative; margin: 10px 0px 10px 20px; display: inline-block; } .steps:before, .steps:after { content: ''; position: absolute; left: 0px; width: 150px; height: 25px; z-index: -1; } .steps:before { top: -2px; border-top: 2px solid blue; border-right: 2px solid blue; border-left: 2px solid blue; background: lightblue; -moz-transform: skew(30deg); -webkit-transform: skew(30deg); transform: skew(30deg); } .steps:after { bottom: -2px; border-left: 2px solid blue; border-right: 2px solid blue; border-bottom: 2px solid blue; background: lightblue; -moz-transform: skew(-30deg); -webkit-transform: skew(-30deg); transform: skew(-30deg); } .steps:last-child { background: lightblue; border-right: 2px solid blue; border-top: 2px solid blue; border-bottom: 2px solid blue; margin-left: 38px; } .steps:first-child { background: lightblue; border-left: 2px solid blue; border-top: 2px solid blue; border-bottom: 2px solid blue; margin-right: 18px; } .steps:first-child:before, .steps:first-child:after { left: 18px; } .steps:last-child:before, .steps:last-child:after { left: -18px; } /* Hover Styles */ .steps:first-child:hover, .steps:last-child:hover, .steps:hover:before, .steps:hover:after { background: lightgreen; } .steps:first-child:hover { border-left: 2px solid green; } .steps:last-child:hover { border-right: 2px solid green; } .steps:hover:before { border-top: 2px solid green; border-right: 2px solid green; border-left: 2px solid green; } .steps:hover:after { border-left: 2px solid green; border-right: 2px solid green; border-bottom: 2px solid green; } .steps:first-child:hover, .steps:last-child:hover { border-top: 2px solid green; border-bottom: 2px solid green; } /* Active Styles */ .active:first-child, .active:last-child, .active:before, .active:after{ background: bisque; } .active:first-child{ border-left: 2px solid red; } .active:last-child{ border-right: 2px solid red; } .active:before{ border-top: 2px solid red; border-right: 2px solid red; border-left: 2px solid red; } .active:after{ border-left: 2px solid red; border-right: 2px solid red; border-bottom: 2px solid red; } .active:first-child, .active:last-child{ border-top: 2px solid red; border-bottom: 2px solid red; } /* Just for creating a non solid color background */ body{ height: 200px; background: -webkit-radial-gradient(center, ellipse, #400, #100); background: -moz-radial-gradient(center, ellipse, #400, #100); background: radial-gradient(center, ellipse, #400, #100); }

 <div class='steps-container'> <div class='steps'>1. Step 1</div> <div class='steps active'>2. Step 2</div> <div class='steps'>3. Step 3</div> </div>

Note: The hover in the above snippet doesn't work when hovering on the right tip of the first-child or the left tip of the last-child because of z-index issues. If you need seamless hover functionality then using a span inside the .steps element like in the below snippet would solve it. (Thanks to The Pragmatick for pointing this out).

 .steps { height: 50px; width: 150px; text-align: center; line-height: 50px; position: relative; margin: 10px 0px 10px 20px; display: inline-block; } .steps span { position: relative; z-index: 2; } .steps:before, .steps:after { content: ''; position: absolute; left: 0px; width: 150px; height: 25px; } .steps:before { top: -2px; border-top: 2px solid blue; border-right: 2px solid blue; border-left: 2px solid blue; background: lightblue; -moz-transform: skew(30deg); -webkit-transform: skew(30deg); transform: skew(30deg); } .steps:after { bottom: -2px; border-left: 2px solid blue; border-right: 2px solid blue; border-bottom: 2px solid blue; background: lightblue; -moz-transform: skew(-30deg); -webkit-transform: skew(-30deg); transform: skew(-30deg); } .steps:first-child:before, .steps:first-child:after { border-left: none; } .steps:last-child:before, .steps:last-child:after { border-right: none; } .steps:last-child { background: lightblue; border-right: 2px solid blue; border-top: 2px solid blue; border-bottom: 2px solid blue; margin-left: 38px; } .steps:first-child { background: lightblue; border-left: 2px solid blue; border-top: 2px solid blue; border-bottom: 2px solid blue; margin-right: 18px; } .steps:first-child:before, .steps:first-child:after { left: 18px; } .steps:last-child:before, .steps:last-child:after { left: -18px; } /* Hover Styles */ .steps:first-child:hover, .steps:last-child:hover, .steps:hover:before, .steps:hover:after { background: lightgreen; } .steps:first-child:hover { border-left: 2px solid green; } .steps:last-child:hover { border-right: 2px solid green; } .steps:hover:before { border-top: 2px solid green; border-right: 2px solid green; border-left: 2px solid green; } .steps:hover:after { border-left: 2px solid green; border-right: 2px solid green; border-bottom: 2px solid green; } .steps:first-child:hover, .steps:last-child:hover { border-top: 2px solid green; border-bottom: 2px solid green; } .steps:first-child:hover:before, .steps:first-child:hover:after { border-left: none; } .steps:last-child:hover:before, .steps:last-child:hover:after { border-right: none; } /* Active Styles */ .active:first-child, .active:last-child, .active:before, .active:after { background: bisque; } .active:first-child { border-left: 2px solid red; } .active:last-child { border-right: 2px solid red; } .active:before { border-top: 2px solid red; border-right: 2px solid red; border-left: 2px solid red; } .active:after { border-left: 2px solid red; border-right: 2px solid red; border-bottom: 2px solid red; } .active:first-child, .active:last-child { border-top: 2px solid red; border-bottom: 2px solid red; } /* Just for creating a non solid color background */ body { height: 200px; background: -webkit-radial-gradient(center, ellipse, #400, #100); background: -moz-radial-gradient(center, ellipse, #400, #100); background: radial-gradient(center, ellipse, #400, #100); }

Responsive Implementation with Transparent Background:

For a responsive version of the progress tracker bar with semi-transparent boxes, visit this pen . The width of each step/item is assigned in such a way that their sum is always 100% of the available width and each itemis always of the same size as the others.

JavaScript is used for the following features: (All these features are value-add and can be removed depending on the needs. Note that when the JS is removed, the corresponding CSS properties should be put into the CSS file.)

• Automatically adjust the width of each item depending on the no. of items that are present in the bar
• Automatically adjust the width of each item when the window is resized
• Automatically adjust the appearance of the items when the height of the bar is increased or decreased by using the slider.

Here's some great arrows for you

 html{ background-color:red; } div#page { padding-bottom: 40px; padding-top: 40px; text-align: center; z-index: 1; position: relative; } div.diamond, div.ribbon, div.right-arrow, div.left-arrow { display: inline-block; color: #FFFFFF; font-size: 22px; line-height: 38px; margin: 15px 0; position: relative; width: 200px; } div.diamond:before, div.diamond:after, div.ribbon:before, div.ribbon:after, div.right-arrow:before, div.right-arrow:after, div.left-arrow:before, div.left-arrow:after { content:""; border-style: solid; border-width: 0; height: 0; position: absolute; width: 0; } div.diamond { background-color: #CCCCCC; } div.diamond:after, div.diamond:before { border-color: transparent #CCCCCC; } div.diamond:before { left: -19px; border-width: 19px 19px 19px 0; } div.diamond:after { right: -19px; border-width: 19px 0 19px 19px; } div.ribbon { background-color: #CCCCCC; } div.ribbon:before, div.ribbon:after { top: 6px; z-index: -15; } div.ribbon:before { border-color: #B2B2B2 #B2B2B2 #B2B2B2 transparent; border-width: 19px; left: -25px; } div.ribbon:after { border-color: #B2B2B2 transparent #B2B2B2 #B2B2B2; border-width: 19px; right: -25px; } div.right-arrow { background-color: #CCCCCC; } div.right-arrow:after, div.right-arrow:before { border-width: 19px 0 19px 19px; } div.right-arrow:before { border-color: #CCCCCC transparent; left: -19px; } div.right-arrow:after { border-color: transparent #CCCCCC; right: -19px; } div.left-arrow { background-color: #CCCCCC; } div.left-arrow:after, div.left-arrow:before { border-width: 19px 19px 19px 0; } div.left-arrow:before { border-color: transparent #CCCCCC; left: -19px; } div.left-arrow:after { border-color: #CCCCCC transparent; right: -19px; }

If you want transparent spaces between tabs, Harry's current answer is they way to go.

But if you want to remove hover issues, you can try the following. It uses box-shadow for pseudo-elements instead of background with solid colour.
The same effect is achievable using border: _px inset #___ ;

 .li { height: 50px; width: 120px; background: #F5FBF1; display: inline-block; position: relative; margin-left: 30px; line-height: 50px; color: black; font-family: sans-serif; text-align: center; } .li:before, .li:after { content: ''; left: -15px; position: absolute; height: 23px; width: 132px; border-left: 2px solid black; border-right: 2px solid black; } .li:before { border-top: 2px solid black; -webkit-transform-origin: 0% 0%; -moz-transform-origin: 0% 0%; -ms-transform-origin: 0% 0%; transform-origin: 0% 0%; -webkit-transform: skewX(30deg); -moz-transform: skewX(30deg); -ms-transform: skewX(30deg); transform: skewX(30deg); top: 0; box-shadow: inset 0 8px 0 8px #F5FBF1, inset -6px 8px 0 8px #F5FBF1; } .li:after { border-bottom: 2px solid black; -webkit-transform-origin: 0% 100%; -moz-transform-origin: 0% 100%; -ms-transform-origin: 0% 100%; transform-origin: 0% 100%; -webkit-transform: skewX(-30deg); -moz-transform: skewX(-30deg); -ms-transform: skewX(-30deg); transform: skewX(-30deg); bottom: 0; box-shadow: inset 0 -8px 0 8px #F5FBF1, inset -6px -8px 0 8px #F5FBF1; } .li:hover { background: #C0EBA4; } .li:hover:before { box-shadow: inset 0 8px 0 8px #C0EBA4, inset -6px 8px 0 8px #C0EBA4; } .li:hover:after { box-shadow: inset 0 -8px 0 8px #C0EBA4, inset -6px -8px 0 8px #C0EBA4; }

You can hover it seamlessly. It includes flat edges of first and last tabs.

 .li { height: 50px; width: 100px; padding-left: 20px; background: #F5FBF1; display: inline-block; position: relative; margin-left: 20px; line-height: 50px; font-family: sans-serif; font-size: 15px; } .li:before, .li:after { content: ''; left: -15px; position: absolute; height: 23px; width: 132px; border-left: 2px solid black; border-right: 2px solid black; } .li:before { border-top: 2px solid black; -webkit-transform-origin: 0% 0%; -moz-transform-origin: 0% 0%; -ms-transform-origin: 0% 0%; transform-origin: 0% 0%; -webkit-transform: skewX(30deg); -moz-transform: skewX(30deg); -ms-transform: skewX(30deg); transform: skewX(30deg); top: 0; box-shadow: inset 0 8px 0 8px #F5FBF1, inset -6px 8px 0 8px #F5FBF1; } .li:after { border-bottom: 2px solid black; -webkit-transform-origin: 0% 100%; -moz-transform-origin: 0% 100%; -ms-transform-origin: 0% 100%; transform-origin: 0% 100%; -webkit-transform: skewX(-30deg); -moz-transform: skewX(-30deg); -ms-transform: skewX(-30deg); transform: skewX(-30deg); bottom: 0; box-shadow: inset 0 -8px 0 8px #F5FBF1, inset -6px -8px 0 8px #F5FBF1; } .li:hover { background: #C0EBA4; } .li:hover:before { box-shadow: inset 0 8px 0 8px #C0EBA4, inset -6px 8px 0 8px #C0EBA4;} .li:hover:after { box-shadow: inset 0 -8px 0 8px #C0EBA4, inset -6px -8px 0 8px #C0EBA4;} /*First and Last styles*/ .li:first-of-type { left: -15px; box-shadow: 15px 0 0 0 #F5FBF1; border-left: 2px solid black; } .li:first-of-type:before, .li:first-of-type:after { left: -1px; width: 135px; border-left: 0; } .li:first-of-type:hover {box-shadow: 15px 0 0 0 #C0EBA4;} .li:last-of-type { left: 0px; width: 115px; box-shadow: inset -2px 0 0 0 black, inset 0 -2px 0 0 black, inset 0 2px 0 0 black; border: 0; } .li:last-of-type:before, .li:last-of-type:after { left: -15px; border-right: 0; } .li:last-of-type:hover {background: #C0EBA4;}
