Currently, I’m struggling a bit with understanding how to accomplish this task:
The issue is that the pointer/arrow within the nav-element appears transparent and displays the content rather than its parent, which is the nav-element.
Here is my HTML code:
<nav>
...
<div id="pointer></div> <!-- this is the arrow -->
</nav>
<div id="content">...</div>
Any suggestions on how to achieve this? Hopefully, my explanation makes sense! :)
After some efforts, I believe I have a starting point for you:
The issue lies in the fact that simply setting the ARROW to transparent won't work because the menu div will have a solid color blocking the transparency from showing through to the background.
To resolve this, I divided the menu item into top and bottom sections. The top section contains text while the bottom section is designed to "simulate" a triangle in the middle with a transparent background.
In essence, integrate the arrow into the menu item by assembling it like a CSS puzzle.
<div class="con">
<div class="item">
<div class="item_top">
top
</div>
<div class="item_btm">
<div class="item_btm_lft"> </div>
<div class="item_btm_ptr"> </div>
<div class="item_btm_rgt"> </div>
</div>
</div>
</div>
.con {
width:100px;
height:40px;
padding:20px;
background:url('http://placekitten.com/g/100/100');
}
.item {
width:100px;
background:transparent;
}
.item_top {
background:orange;
text-align:center;
color:#fff
}
.item_btm {
width:100%;
overflow:hidden;
}
.item_btm_lft {
width:40px;
float:left;
background:orange;
border-bottom:2px solid orange;
}
.item_btm_ptr {
width: 0px;
height: 0px;
float:left;
border-style: solid;
border-width: 0 10px 20px 10px;
border-color: transparent orange transparent orange;
}
.item_btm_rgt {
width:40px;
float:left;
background:orange;
border-bottom:2px solid orange;
}
It seems like there might be some confusion here:
From my understanding, the pointer or arrow is actually a separate image file that gets loaded and displayed in certain scenarios, such as when you hover your mouse over something or it becomes active.
To create this effect, you would need to make a new .png file with a transparent background and design it how you want. Any areas on the image where you haven't drawn anything will remain transparent.
Let me simplify it a bit:
If your navigation isn't active and your mouse isn't hovering over it, you should see the default image without the pointer or arrow.
But if we do hover our mouse over it or click it:
Your navigation becomes active and switches to the new image (like a .png file) which replaces the old one. This new image will have parts that are left untouched, making them transparent.
This illustration showcases the innovative use of CSS3 techniques in a contemporary setting, featuring:
The border colors have been customized with partial transparency using the rgba method.
Nevertheless, it is worth noting that while the provided resource explains how to create speech bubbles with triangular designs, it does not provide guidance on replicating the exact layout shown in your screenshot.
