Rounded side, not rounded corners

Question

I'd like to create a shape like the one displayed below entirely in CSS. As you can tell, it would take a bit more tweaking than simply applying rounded corners...

Can it be done?

Answer 1

Here is the jsfiddle: http://jsfiddle.net/swqZL/

CSS for element div with class "figure":

.figure {
height: 400px;
width: 200px;
background-color: black;
border-bottom-left-radius: 100%30px;
border-bottom-right-radius: 100%30px;    
}

Horizontal radius 100%, vertical radius 30px

<div style="background: black; 
        width: 300px; 
        height: 450px; 
        padding-top: 50px;">
    <div style="width: 200px; 
            height: 400px; 
            background: white; 
            margin: 0 auto;
            border-radius: 0 0 100px 100px / 0 0 25px 25px;
            -moz-border-radius: 0 0 100px 100px / 0 0 25px 25px;
            -webkit-border-radius: 0 0 100px 100px / 0 0 25px 25px;
            ">
    </div>
</div>

Working Snippet:

 .border-radius-example { width: 125px; height: 175px; background: #000; margin: 20px; float: left; padding: 5px; } #border-radius-bottom { -moz-border-radius-bottomleft: 100%35px; -webkit-border-bottom-left-radius: 100%35px; border-bottom-left-radius: 100%35px; -moz-border-radius-bottomright: 100%35px; -webkit-border-bottom-right-radius: 100%35px; border-bottom-right-radius: 100%35px; }

 <div class='border-radius-example' id='border-radius-bottom'> </div>
